Plan ahead of time to wear the right women’s shoes for your look Looking forwards to your well-deserved holiday? Then make sure to plan and purchase your holiday women’s shoes with plenty of time to spare before your big travel day. This gives you a chance to put your new footwear through its paces and break them in at home, if needs be, before you take flight! Wear them around the house when you are getting ready for work or making the bed, if you don’t want to scrape them outside. The magic holiday shoe colour When you think about the colour of those sandy holiday beaches, neutral tones spring to mind. A pair of neutral shoes are perfect for holidays as they go with basically anything and when you’re limited to the number of pairs of ladies shoes you can take, the XYLONDON ‘champagne’ and ‘nude’ ranges could prove to be the perfect colour choice.

Shoes glorious shoes! I want them all, but how many can I fit into my case? You do not want to break your back when you lift your case, so try not to pack too many pairs of shoes. Also choose lightweight footwear, when possible. This will make it easy on your feet and easy on your baggage allowance. Remember, when flying many carriers will heavily restrict the size and weight of your luggage. Ideally you should look to pack about three pairs of shoes. Take time to put some good thought into your footwear choice, for as any woman knows scaling back to just three pairs of holiday sandals is not an easy task, especially when XYLONDON offers you so much choice and affordability. The magic holiday footwear formula

1) Walking shoes. These need to be used daily and can be worn for hours at a time, so comfortable shoes are the key, to blissful sightseeing feet. The XYLONDON pumps range can be an excellent choice as they are cute and functional. Their Marley Rose Gold Sequin Ballerina pumps really would add some pizazz to any holiday outfit. However if you struggle with totally flat sandals or pumps and plan to do a fair amount of sightseeing, but still want to sight-see in style, a good option would be to opt for a mid to low heel height with slight platform, such as the Savannah Nude Faux Suede Heels. This makes for a comfortable choice, which can be used in both the day and the evening. This open sandal style is great for breathability, helping your feet to feel cool and comfortable whilst taking in those amazing holiday sites.

2) Glitzy evening high heels sparkle as brightly as the stars on any holiday evening. If you fancy tripping the light fantastic one night on your holiday then you need to pop some sassy XYLONDON stilettos, high or platform heels into your suitcase. The perfect find would be a versatile pair, which you could wear during the day and night. Check out our Reagan Gold Wedge heeled sandals, which are sure to add a touch of glamour to any occasion. If these are not sparkly enough and you really want to elevate your style then our Ezra Champagne Satin Diamante Heels must be put on your packing list. You will knock them dead as you dance the night away in these killer heels and don’t forget matching evening bags so you can twinkle twinkle little star!

3) Beach shoes and strappy sandals – a ‘must have’ for any holiday wardrobe. Try to find compact versions of these if you can. A stylish pair of strappy sandals or women’s flats could really save the day, if you plan to be a beach babe! Our Casey Bronze Metallic Studded Caged Sandal Mules could be the perfect holiday recipe, mixing the style and comfort, everyone searching for a little R&R on holiday, craves. Our Espadrilles are another perfect holiday classic and will really set you in good stead for a stroll along that warm beach, in search of a cooling holiday ice cream. Take a peak at our pretty Madison Pastel Pink Faux Suede Espadrilles, sure to add even more sunshine to your summer break. Talking of sunshine, if you are heading off to a sunny destination, as well as taking good care of your feet make sure to protect both your skin and your eyes. Don’t forget the all important sunscreen and sunglasses. Take a tip from the Australians, who have many ‘blue sky’ days.
