While colorful attire isn’t technically exclusive to any one season, there’s something about summer that inspires the infusion of vibrancy into your everyday wardrobe.
Here, we’re starting from the ground up.

If you thought Velcro shoes were solely for toddlers, think again. Tory Burch marries fashion and function with this new pair of bright, doublestrapped sandals. Shown here in hue Lemon Mist / New Ivory, the Kira Sport Sandal prioritizes practicality as much as luxury with an ultracomfortable molded leather footbed and rubber sole, so nothing can slow you down this summer.
