You've booked the restaurant and picked the outfit. Then you get to the shoes and remember how your heels felt the last time. Here's how to look put-together without spending the night counting the minutes until you can kick them off.
Pick a statement strap
The detail people notice on a sandal is the strap: jewels, rhinestones, metallics. Put the sparkle there and keep the base low and comfortable.
Match the shoe to the outfit
- Little black dress: silver or clear rhinestones keep it classic.
- Wide-leg pants or jumpsuit: a low wedge peeks out and lengthens the leg without a high heel.
- Summer midi: gold or champagne straps look warm and relaxed.
Think about the walk
Date night is rarely just sitting down. There's parking, walking between bars, maybe cobblestones. A 3–5 cm wedge with a back strap handles all of that far better than a stiletto.
Our favourites
For date night we love The Sunday Jewel Wedge in black or silver, or The Bloom Wedge if you want a little more sparkle. Not sure? Take our 30-second Find Your Fit quiz.
