Charles & Keith white woven slingback ankle boots, S$59.90

image

“I’m a huge fan of anything woven at the moment (and it’s a huge trend this season), which is why I chose this pair of ankle boots. The loose weave adds just that bit of texture to an outfit without looking over-complicated, and you’ll get plenty of wear from it regardless of what you pair it with.” — Aaron Kok, Senior Fashion Stylist/Writer, The Singapore Women’s Weekly

Shop

Emporium of the Modern Man almansa — verde, S$312

“It’s appropriate enough for any kind of work environment and comfortable enough even if you’re into new-age standing desks. And in an almost neutral shade of green, it pairs well with everything you might already own.” — Bryan Goh, Fashion Stylist/Writer, Her World

Shop

Zara leather ankle boots with block heels, S$139

“White boots are a game-changer to any outfit. The clean and crisp silhouette makes it unfussy and won’t distract from what you have to say at work.” — Debby Kwong, Associate Fashion Editor, CLEO Singapore

Shop

Saint Laurent zoe pump in patent leather, S$1,000

“A classic pump achieves the desirable effect of elongating the foot. Plus, it goes with just about everything, from impeccable pantsuits to relaxed shirt-skirt combos.” — Gerald Tan, Associate Fashion News Editor, Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore

Shop

Bata ladies mules, S$43.95

image

“To most, the Bata brand is synonymous with white shoes for kids. But the brand actually has many stylish options at an affordable price. I like that they are fashionable yet oh-so-comfortable. I have three pairs, and none of them have ever given me any blisters. This pair is my go-to piece for all occasions. They are easy to slip into and can be worn with both your work ensemble and your regular weekend sundress.”— Joy Fang, Associate Editor, Digital Trending Desk

Shop

Church’s burwood glossed-leather brogues, US$527.19 (S$714.98) from Net-a-Porter

Shop

Dior j’adior patent calfskin slingback shoe, £690 (S$1,236.16)

“What’s there not to like about this pair of Dior slingbacks? It is comfy and easy to wear, and the nude colour and pointed toe make the legs look longer and slimmer.” — Hayley Zhang, Fashion Writer, ICON Singapore

Shop

Valentino rockstud caged sandal 100mm, S$1,100

image

“I’m a proponent of a good pair of statement shoes such as these Rockstuds from Valentino. This pair can instantly jazz up and add character to the simplest of looks to the most haphazardly thrown together outfits on a tired work morning — or any other morning to be honest.” — Ho Guo Xiong, Digital Content Specialist (Fashion & Lifestyle), Digital Trending Desk
