@aimeesongStyle Notes: Thank god for comfy trainers. Thanks to the likes of New Balance, Salomon and Asics, the retro dad sneaker is cool again, and it happens to be the perfect accompaniment to a pair of loose, cotton shorts.

@emilisindlevStyle Notes: Proof that shorts aren't only for casual wear, they also look incredible with a kitten-heel slingback for dressier occasions. Imagine a waistcoat with a tailored pair of shorts and an elegant slingback heel on a summer evening. Dreamy.

@tylynnnguyenStyle Notes: We've all got that one pair of strappy sandals (usually gladiator) that we bought a few summers ago and wear on repeat. The truth is, the strappy sandal never goes out of style. Opt for flats and wear with a loose shirt tucked into a pair of printed shorts.
The metal toe-ring gives these enough polish for an evening occasion.

@francescasaffariStyle Notes: The humble flip-flop had fallen out of favour of late, but thanks to The Row's Ginza pair, the thong sandal has had a fashionable makeover. Premium leather pairs are the editor's shoe of choice, but I've also spotted colour-pop Havaianas making a return to holiday wardrobes all over Instagram.
Francesca Saffari (pictured above) has convinced me that rubber flip-flops are back.
Chloé + Eres = a match made in heaven.

@juliesfiStyle Notes: You've got to appreciate a shoe so effortless, you can quite literally slide into it. Sliders are the barely-there sandals that make immediate sense with shorts—the epitome of the "throw-on-and-go" uniform.
Further proof that COS make some of the best accessories on the high street.

@aniyahmoriniaStyle Notes: Another way to take shorts from dressed-down to dinner plans is with party mules. Embellished heels, chic satin and luxe leather look particularly good with denim and tailored shorts for a look very reminiscent of Carrie Bradshaw.
These are too good just to save for special occasions.
