Cleated Sole Ankle-Strap Denim Shoes

Spring shoes do not always have to be open-toe sandals. Try a semi-covered style that is equal parts fashionable and functional. Rendered in a smooth dark blue denim -- a cool spin on basic black -- these shoes exude casual elegance and are a great break from your usual go-to pair. They also have adjustable straps that loop around the ankle, offering you a secure fit all day long. Our favourite feature has to be the cleated sole that adds a unique touch to the design of the shoe. Take your OOTDs up a notch by pairing them with a belted mini skirt and cropped denim jacket.

• Material: Denim
• Heel height (cm): 5

An accessible brand with genuine kudos, Charles & Keith has put the creativity back into affordable accessories. Its shoe and bag collections are always on the money, making them a hit with the British style press. Although it’s a global brand, it’s a relative newcomer to the British high street, so our advice is to get it early before everyone catches on.
