The flat sandal I've been recommending to every client who says they want something that looks expensive but won't destroy their feet by noon. Jimmy Choo's Ayla Flat in tan suede is a cross-strap sandal with a square toe and a gold buckle at the ankle — clean, architectural, and the kind of neutral that works harder than it looks. Tan suede reads warm without being heavy, which is exactly what you want when it's 90 degrees and you still need to look pulled together. At $895 on sale, yes — this is a considered purchase. But this is the shoe you wear with wide-leg linen trousers, a midi skirt, a summer dress, or straight-leg denim and a crisp white shirt. It doesn't need help. It just works. Fit note: suede runs slightly narrow through the cross straps on some fits — if you're wider through the forefoot, size up before you commit. shoes jimmychoo
