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.
