British weather can be unpredictable at the best of times, especially during this present time when we are supposed to be in the height of summer but all we’ve had is rain! It’s difficult to know what clothes to wear when the weather is being unpredictable, let alone what woman’s shoes to wear. One minute the scorching sun is out, the next minute we have a huge downpour of rain. It’s crucial that we choose the right footwear before we leave the house, otherwise we could end up with soggy feet for the whole day.
Pumps

Pumps have got to be the number one ideal summer shoes for the unpredictable British weather. This style of flat shoes are enclosed with many designs having minimal coverage, perfect for keeping your feet cool and also means no silly tan lines if the sun happens to appear. Pump shoes are great for your 9-5 shift when you’ve travelled to work in the heat, then gone home in the pouring rain. Flat pumps are so versatile, they can practically be worn with any outfit and occasion. Whether you’re going out in the evening to party with your girls or having a casual day out, patent ballerina pumps are good choice just in case the weather takes a turn for the worst.
Loafers

Loafers score highly when it comes to suitable shoes to wear in the British summer time. Choose synthetic leather or patent materials to keep your feet as dry as possible in the rain, because nobody likes soggy toes! Opt for woman’s loafers styles with soft thinner materials to ensure your feet do not get too hot. Loafer shoe designs with less coverage that don’t enclose your feet too much will be more breathable to help you stay cool. Wear pop socks in case your feet do get hot, this will stop your feet from slipping around and prevents any rubbing also. Loafer flats are so versatile you could get away with wearing them for most occasions, a practical but stylish shoe to have in your summer wardrobe. Team with a pair of trousers and crop top for a trending casual look.
Trainers

Trainers work well in the summertime especially when we are going through a bought of bad weather. Always stick to synthetic leather materials where possible to prevent your feet from getting wet in the rain. Dark colours are the most sensible option as they won’t show up as much dirt, although if leather you will be able to wipe away any marks. Woman’s trainers are ideal if we’re having one of those days where it’s hot but unpredictable, the inner textile material will prevent your feet from sweating and slipping all over the place. Stay away from high top trainers and stick with low rise trainers so you don’t get too hot.
Backless Loafers

In the summertime nobody really wants to enclose their feet in shoes, but with our British weather being so unpredictable we really don’t have a choice at times! The next best thing to open toe sandals when the weather isn’t playing ball is backless loafers, they certainly won’t keep your feet bone dry if it rains but will help as opposed to sandals. Backless loafer shoes will do a good job of keeping your feet cool as they have better airflow, you can always simply kick your backless shoes off if your feet get too hot. This woman’s loafers style works for both smart casual and everyday wear, ideal for a long day at work in the office or for a day out.
Court Shoe Heels

Your off out on the town with your BFFLs and the sun hasn’t got its hat on but you still want to dress to impress, this is a job for your Court Shoe Heels! Closed toe heels will keep your toes dry whilst the heel height will keep you out of reach of puddles. Stick to dark colours as they will be less likely to show up any dirt, synthetic leather heels and patent heels are easiest to quickly wipe away any marks. Stay away from stiletto heels and stick to block heels and wedges, this will prevent your heels getting stuck in any soft ground. When choosing the toe shape choose rounded or square styles without extreme points, shoes with narrow pointed toes tend to get dirty.
