With the formality of a dress shoe but the comfort of a slipper, a loafer is a necessary addition to your footwear rotation. Arguably the most versatile choice, loafers can be the finishing touch to your smart-casual office attire but can also come into their own with denim and a tee. Leather is usually the sturdier and smarter option – plus, they're perfect for temperamental seasonal dressing. Meanwhile, suede – especially with tassel detailing – will add a touch of personality to your look. 

Boot season is coming and now is a great time to invest in a high-quality pair to last you through to the spring. Desert boots bridge that smart-casual divide and can work equally as well for the office and the weekend. Looking for something with a bit more edge? The utilitarian hiking boot has had a rebrand in recent years and has been spotted on the city-slick fashion set. Of course, no boot edit is complete without a Biker boot – edgy yet sophisticated, with its smooth leather and stacked heel. 

Be it in the height of summer or the depths of winter, no shoe will fair quite as well as a trainer. Their versatility extends to the office too, with sleeker leather styles now working their way into the workwear dress code. Chunkier options with old-school gum soles will add a retro feel.
