How to pack lighter, look polished, and stay comfortable all season long
Summer style should feel as easy as a breeze off the coast, but between travel, events, and the daily hustle, getting dressed can feel like a full-time job. That’s where your wardrobe (and your shoes) need to start pulling their weight.
At Alterre, we believe warm-weather style is all about versatility. With a few key pieces and our most comfortable shoes, you can build effortless looks that carry you from coffee to cocktails, with no outfit changes (or blisters) required.
Weekend Style, Simplified
When the temperature climbs, your outfit should do the opposite—cool down. Think fewer pieces, softer silhouettes, and staples that play well together. But the real secret to packing light? Footwear that works just as hard as you do.
Our interchangeable shoes are designed for movement and ease, with cushioned insoles, supportive shoe bases, and stylish strap options you can swap in seconds. Whether you’re headed to a beachside wedding or just strolling through a new city, you’ll only need one pair.
Meet the Hero Shoe: The Loop Sandal
If you pack just one pair of shoes this season, make it the Loop Sandal. It’s secure, stylish, and endlessly versatile, thanks to a classic ankle strap and walkable sole that takes you from sandals-at-brunch to sandals-at-midnight.
Need more dress-up options? The Ballet Flat in Rose Satin is perfect for gallery dates, garden parties, and soft summer dressing. And for events that call for a little more shimmer, the Bell Sandal in Silver brings polish to rooftop cocktails or outdoor weddings (without the heel).
The Secret to Endless Outfits? Interchangeable Straps
Here’s where the real magic happens. Each Alterre shoe base works with any of our interchangeable straps, giving you multiple looks with just one pair. Swap in a bold print for dinner or slide into a classic mary-jane strap for a more structured look. No overpacking required.
Style It Three Ways
Need a little outfit inspo? Here’s how we’re styling our go-to summer shoes:
Brunch with friends: Loop Sandal + Gold Marilyn Strap + flowy white dress
City day: Ballet Flat in Rose Satin + wide-leg linen trousers + silk tank
Evening plans: Bell Sandal + Silver Jackie Strap + midi dress + statement earrings
What to Pack
Still stressing your suitcase? Here’s our cheat sheet for a full weekend in half the space:

Two to three strap sets (think: neutral, pastel, metallic)

Linen shorts, a midi skirt, and a lightweight blazer

One great day-to-night dress
