My Favorite Shoes for the Summer
It’s no secret: I have a serious shoe obsession.
This season, I’ve gathered my favorite picks for every occasion: stylish sneakers, natural-textured sandals, elegant mules, and minimalist designs perfect for everyday wear.
This is also what I love about my Mimz wardrobe: timeless pieces that can be elevated with the right pair of shoes, effortlessly transitioning from a daytime look to a more polished ensemble. Here are the styles that, in my opinion, perfectly elevate Mimz looks this summer, no matter the occasion.
1. PUMA SPEEDCAT OG in brown — Browns
The retro sneaker that exudes effortless, polished style. Paired with our pleated bermuda or Mimz straight-leg trousers, they create a sporty-masculine contrast we love.
