In the ever-evolving world of fashion, trends may come and go, but a thoughtfully curated capsule wardrobe remains timeless. While most capsule wardrobe guides focus on clothing, one of the most overlooked, but equally important, foundations is footwear. After all, your shoes not only complete your outfit, they define it.
At Camargue, we believe that style should be intentional, effortless, and enduring. That’s why we’ve distilled the perfect shoe-drobe down to six must-have pairs. With these on rotation, you’ll be ready for every occasion, from weekday errands to weekend soirées.
Let’s walk through the six essential shoes for a well-rounded, fashion-forward capsule shoe wardrobe.
1. Comfortable Yet Stylish Sneakers
Every woman needs a pair of sneakers that can carry her through the day without sacrificing style. Think less “gym shoes” and more “off-duty model.” The ideal sneaker is versatile enough to pair with tailored trousers, floaty dresses, or denim, making it a wardrobe chameleon.
At Camargue, we offer a curated selection of designer sneakers that blend comfort and style. Brands like Golden Goose, and Comme des Garcons PLAY offer minimalist styles in premium materials like leather or canvas, with clean lines and subtle detailing. These sneakers are not only comfortable but also elevated enough for casual Fridays at the office.
2. Chic Everyday Flats
Effortless and elegant, everyday flats are the unsung heroes of the modern wardrobe. Whether you’re commuting to work or meeting a friend for coffee, they offer a polished look without the pinch of a heel.
Explore our collection of designer flats from brands like A. Emery, Marni, and 13 09 SR. These flats come in neutral tones and feature soft leather or suede for long-term comfort. Subtle embellishments, like gold buckles or textured finishes, add interest without overwhelming your outfit.
3. Platforms with Flair
A capsule wardrobe doesn’t mean boring, and this is where platforms come into play. Bold, playful, and often architectural, a statement platform shoe adds instant fashion cred to your closet.
At Camargue, we offer a range of platform shoes from brands like Ancient Greek Sandals and Marni. Whether it’s a strappy platform sandal or a chunky-soled mule, these shoes speak to your style personality and are ideal for dinners, gallery openings, or nights out.
4. The Statement Loafer
Loafers have evolved far beyond their preppy origins. Today’s modern loafer is bold, directional, and packed with personality. They bring structure and confidence to an outfit, acting as a style anchor whether you're wearing jeans or tailoring.
Discover our selection of designer loafers from brands like Dear Frances and Acne Studios. These loafers feature architectural soles, unexpected colours, and mixed materials, allowing you to make a statement without compromising on practicality.
5. Going-Out Heels
Every wardrobe needs a pair of heels that makes you feel unstoppable. This is your “going out” shoe, elegant, empowering, and always a little bit sexy.
Explore our curated selection of designer heels from brands like Golden Goose, Dries Van Noten, and A. Emery. These heels blend visual impact with wearability, featuring designs like kitten heels, sculptural block heels, and barely-there stilettos in luxe materials such as satin, velvet, and patent leather.
6. The Timeless Ballet Flat
No shoe collection is truly complete without the iconic ballet flat. Elegant and understated, it’s the definition of Parisian chic, and surprisingly versatile.
At Camargue, we offer modern interpretations of the ballet flat from brands like Ganni, Dries Van Noten, and Le Monde Beryl. These flats move beyond the basic, featuring elevated details like square toes, ruched leather, or wraparound straps. Soft shades like blush, cream, and taupe are endlessly wearable, while black remains a timeless classic.
