Really want to make a statement this summer? Invest in a pair of this season’s hottest shoes, pointed flats. With a revolution in footwear, the high street has delivered a range of beautiful designs to give you your fix of summertime glam.

Asos’ June pointed ballet pumps in bright pink are the perfect addition to summer wardrobes. Teamed with feminine skater skirts and blouses, these delicate shoes with a sweet ankle strap create a fresh and preppy look.

Boohoo’s Isla pointed T-bar shoe in black and silver glitter offers a darker and more versatile look, which will work well with various outfits. Teamed with leather leggings of patterned hareem trousers, these shoes are subtle but effective.

River Island’s studded dusty pink ballet pumps mix grunge with girlish glamour and offer a current and on trend look. These shoes are able to brighten up long black maxi dresses and floor length skirts as well as looking fabulous with casual denim shorts. Add a camisole and they become an essential holiday buy.

Channelling the 1920’s buzz that currently surrounds both fashion and film are Next’s bronze and cream pointed T-bar shoes. These shoes are delicate and mix the warm and rich tones of vintage glamour, creating a classic shoe that will add a timeless feel to any look.
