Dress up jeans and a T-shirt or add a casual resort vibe with lace-up shoes
The lace-up ballet flat was all the rage last year, especially after the feminine style showed on the runway for Michael Kors Spring 2015. It was soon seen everywhere, from French fashion house Isabel Marant to high-street brands such as Topshop.
Celebrities such as American singer and model Zendaya Coleman, British model Alexa Chung and singer Rihanna have all been seen wearing variations of the style.
This year, the lace-up trend continues to be strong and is seen in other footwear variations - Salvatore Ferragamo has lace-up sandals, while Roberto Cavalli featured lace-up pumps on the runway.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Lace-up sandals are a good match for skirts and floral dresses - they look feminine without making the overall look too girly.
They are also a great substitute for casual days, when comfort is a priority, but flip-flops are too sloppy.
Laces should end either below the calves to avoid visually cutting off the legs and making them look stumpy, or tied up to the knee to elongate the legs.
