It might be winter here in South Africa but there’s a new summer shoe in town: a throwback to the dippy hippy culture of the early 70s...wooden heels. Get a 2012 makeover via clever injections of neon leather, panels of contrast wood and updated shapes that only wistfully look back to the original clog shape.

Sturdy enough to wear all day long and high enough to be party perfect, wooden heels are your summer wardrobe’s best friend. Pair them with ankle socks when temperatures dip, and wear them with skinny jeans for a retro twist to your weekend look. But for best effect, we like them worn à la Stevie Nicks, with tanned legs and a breezy peasant dress, and slightly scuffed from too much dancing.
