Not allowed to wear sandals to work? Here’s our pick of the best office-appropriate footwear for when the sun is shining…

Hot weather calls for less clothes and alternative footwear and that’s just a fact. However, when you aren’t allowed to wear sandals to work, things get a little trickier: how do you keep your feet cool, both sartorially and temperature-wise? Well, whether it be a chic slide, a shoe with cut-outs or a slingback, we’ve found 20 of the best summer shoes for the office.

We recommend teaming these with all your workwear staples to add a little summer sunshine to the daily grind.
