How to Style: Heeled Lace Up Sandals

Hello everyone! I hope you are ready for another hot weekend in the Chicagoland area. Today, I am teaching you how you can style a piece that will be your new go-to for these summer months ahead. The piece I am referring to is a pair of heeled lace up sandals. They are such an easy piece to toss on your feet with almost any outfit. Just as well, if you find a pair, like the ones pictured below, that have a chunkier heel and are only about 3 inches in height, then you can wear them all day to a variety of events. Below are my tips on how to style these gorgeous shoes:

1. Wear them with a flowy maxi skirt. A maxi skirt, especially summer ones that are made with very light materials, need a shoe that is light to match the airy spirit. So, a pair of heeled lace up sandals do the trick when chosen in a light neutral color, such as white, nude, and taupe.

2. Style them with a pair of shorts. These shoes will be the ones you will find yourself going to all week and weekend long. On the weekends, pair them with a pair of distressed denim shorts and a flowy boho chic blouse.

3. Edge a dress up with these lace ups. Lace up anything really adds a cool-girl vibe to any look, so try them with a feminine dress to counter the super feminine look.

4. Try them with a pair of culottes. Whether with denim ones or silky ones, these lace ups are the perfect piece to add to your trendy culottes. They go with that fashion forward style and make you instantly polished.
