Let me guess—you have an affinity for neutral colors, and your motto when it comes to shopping is buying fewer, better things. I hear you. Shopping for summer can be somewhat tricky for women with classic style. I mean, just take one look at the new arrivals section of your favorite retailers to see why. They're inundated with bright colors, prints, and hyper-trendy designs. Which is why we put together the classic girl's guide to summer dressing, so you can shop every essential for the season ahead.

Next up: classic summer shoes. The following styles are tried-and-true staples that we suggest you commit to memory because you'll be wearing them for years to come. From the ankle-tie espadrilles that will make you feel so French to the summer buy you'll actually wear year-round, shop our classic shoe edit.
