We’ve lived through winter’s teeth-clattering, cold breeze and made it past the persistent desperation of keeping toasty. As summer looms around the corner and we prepare for the embrace of its striking rays of warmth and joy, the search for airy attire, that clings to fashionable moments rather than our bodies in the midsummer heat, is the foremost journey we embark on every Spring in preparation for the beachy blaze that awaits us.
From casual city walks along boulevards and brunch by the beach, to moonlit dinners and the most dressed up of nightlife partaking, the fashion opportunities that summer brings about are endless.
Planning an outfit from morning to night can be tedious and often uninspiring, our ELLE editors have created a series to help you navigate between several local Egyptian brands offering the perfect pieces from head to toe. Today we bring to you the toe!
SLIDING INTO SUMMER
Footwear in summer is often easy to categorize, slippers, mules, and ballerinas, but finding the perfect pair might be difficult. We all crave accessibility and comfort when it comes to hotter destinations, whether it’s a beachy one or a cosmopolitan variation, a pair of mules will surely take you from morning to night.
