With the summer season upon us, I've been searching for some comfortable but elegant shoes to style with my favorite trousers, so naturally, I looked to Holmes.

3. CREAM TROUSERS + CHUNKY SANDALS
Style Notes: On blazing summer days, there's no better combination than lightweight trousers and chunky sandals. Protecting your legs from the harsh summer sun, light trousers in a pale shade offer breathability and lasting comfort. Style with chunky sandals for a comfortable stride and a weather-proof edge.
