Seasonal dressing
| Rajinder Bains
Autumn is truly upon us. Sunny summer days have given way to crisp cold mornings and dusky evenings. Oscillating temperatures make Autumnal dressing tricky, one minute its beautiful sunshine and the next its winter showers. But it’s not quite time to bring out your big winter coat yet. Winter boot season may be just around the corner but until then you’ll need a pair of shoes that’ll keep you warm and dry but are still light enough for sunny spells.
Geox make superb transitional shoes. Their Jaysen lace up trainer keep the foot well protected from the outside elements but with specialised breathable insoles. We have a variety of uppers from clean, crisp white to fashionable rose gold. The Jaysen can be styled up or down with jeans or midi length skirts making it the perfect style for versatility. But if you are looking for a casual shoe that is truly fashion forward, look to the Geox Nhenbus trainer. With an elegant flat-form sole on a white leather upper with gold accents, it’ll make any outfit stand out. For a more formal look the Geox Carum is an ideal choice. The lace up ankle boot features a plush smooth navy leather upper, punctuated with burnished silver stud detailing. A generous hidden heeled wedge finishes the style with a modern twist, perfect for elevating any autumnal look.
Skechers offer light weight and practical styles for the autumn months. The Skechers’ ‘Graceful Get Connected’ lace up sporty trainer comes in this season’s must have colour – burgundy. Complete with pale pink accents to give a feminine twist. Also, from the Autumn/Winter 18 collection is the Skechers’ GoWalk Joy Rejoice slip on navy shoe. With a brand signature ‘Air Cooled Memory Foam’ it’s a comfort-oriented shoe with minimalist styling.
For smarter styles that will see you through into the colder months, our Rieker ankle boots offer sleek style without compromising on comfort. The Rieker 7051022 is a quirky lace up ankle boot in a smooth brown leather upper with a chunky block heel that gives the shoe a vintage feel. If you’re looking for a more classic boot the Rieker 7696100 is a black leather ankle boot with contrasting bronze side zip, great for pairing with smart trousers or black tights. Rieker’s sleek shoes make them ideal for both work-wear or casual styles.
Until winter truly sets in we’ve got you covered for practical yet beautiful transitional shoes. Whether you need a lightweight sporty style or sleek boots, we have a great selection. Browse online at your convenience or pop into our Penarth store. Happy Autumn!
