As far as footwear is concerned, sandals are as comfortable as you are going to get. In this case, do you own a pair of beaded sandals?

They go with just about anything; from pants and dresses to skirts and shorts.

It’s their versatility and eye-catching designs that make them so chic.

Go for a design that you are comfortable with, something that compliments your feet. Choose colours that compliment your skin tone.

For those who like to play it safe with colours, stick to neutrals such as beige, ivory, taupe, black, gray and shades of white.

With jeans, opt for ones that will show off your shoes, preferably skinny jeans, for a more feminine look. 

Florence Muthoni, a Maasai sandals saleswoman, says choosing sandals that match an outfit is ideal.

She says any dress — short, long or knee length — will go perfectly with beaded sandals. She adds that one can match colours of the dress with the shoes.

"Sandals come in different colours and it’s easy to pick what will match your dress,” she says.
