I’ve spoken before of my dislike for clear plastic on shoes, but I’m going to be fickle here and say I think these Brian Atwood sandals are exactly the right way to do it, with the clear section at the end of the strap creating the illusion that the strap is shorter than it actually is, and creating a really nice, unusual effect. Without it, the sandals would’ve been just a tad on the “boring” side, but with it they’re a little less ordinary, and a versatile dress shoe.

They’re £390 at Net-a-Porter.
