Many of their designs are giving which are giving us big designer energy, such as the Luca Loafer, that resemble the smart design the likes of Hailey Bieber has worn with an oversized blazer for a preppy style.
We also have a soft spot for the array of boots to shop at Dear Frances, from the classic Cube ankle boot to the knee high Ana Boots, perfect for day to night.
However, Dear Frances' new drop is what we are currently lusting after, which featured flat Ballerina pumps, and loafers, a hybrid design perfect for day to night with Flared Heel Mule, which you can pair with any outfit, as well as the Blake and Cade boot.
In short, the new collection can see you from day to night, the transitional seasons from Winter into Spring and Summer into Autumn.
It is the failsafe collection to see you through all occasions too, from pairing dazzling flats with jeans or a wedding guest dress, style the flat boots with jeans or leggings for a casual look, or change into heeled boots for work to after work drinks.

The new drop boasts a refreshing colour palette to suit all styles and outfits, from timeless neutrals, bold pillar box reds, as well as classic black colourways.
The quality is also second to none, as Dear Frances footwear is created from sustainable materials, such as soft glossy calf leather or tactile suede.
Plus, the team hand sew the seams, a fine detail we are impressed by.

Sherry Mule
The Sherry Mule is a must have footwear item, as it is a hybrid between a pointed toe boot, mule, and chunky heeled sandal.
However, the covered toe makes these shoes suitable for all weather conditions, without fear of your toes getting soaked in the rain.
We would pair these mules with jeans, whether it is wide leg or ankle grazer, even a dress or midi skirt.

Luca Loafer
The Luca Loafers are a failsafe wardrobe must have, and even a pair to keep on you at all times, whether you really do want to wear for driving, to the office, after a long day on your feet, for an evening date night or everyday wear.
These loafers come in a selection of colours, including black shine, black patent, tan and sand.
Pair with jeans and a classic white t-shirt, layered with a blazer, or with socks, a skirt and blazer for an evening affair.

Joss Loafer
Hailey Bieber had us lusting after loafers when she paired her look with an oversized blazer and socks.
However, these are slightly different to the Luca Loafer because they have a thicker sole and a slightly chunkier base for added elevation.
Whether you pair with jeans, shorts, a blazer, are planning to wear for work, everyday ambling around on those Spring days, or in the evening, the options are endless.

The heeled pump make for a flattering, comfortable, and versatile shoe, to elevate any outfit, whether it is a classic jeans and t-shirt combo.
Plus, they are a welcome alternative to stiletto heels, and wearing flats for a date night.

Pino Slide
The Pino Slide is a quirky summer sandal perfect for the warmer months, or any upcoming holidays.
The front detail adds a little extra je ne sais quoi to spice up any outfit, while the patent texture also makes these sliders even more durable than other summer designs.
These sliders come in a variety of colours, though our personal favourite is the vibrant bottle green hue, which is very Bottega Veneta vibes.

Cube Boot
Dear Frances' Cube Boot are another must buy we are head over heels for.
This design may not be in the new Spring/Summer collection, but it is one style we can't get enough of, and will call on for daytime and nighttime, work, shopping, even drinks out.
