Chelsea Boots and Clogs

The Chelsea boot is identified by its elastic side panels, which allow you to slide them on without laces. Blundstone, an Australian brand founded in Tasmania in the 19th century, has made its flagship model the Classic, a leather boot on a thick, cushioned sole, originally designed for work and now a city staple. The leather should be cared for occasionally with a suitable cream and protected from the salty water on pavements during winter.

The clogs, from Birkenstock Boston in suede to Crocs Classic in lightweight resin, cover the transitional seasons and indoor wear. The Boston features the brand's anatomical cork sole that moulds to the foot, while the Crocs can be rinsed with water and move seamlessly from the garden to the beach.

Sandals: Straps, Width, and Size

The Birkenstock sandals are distinguished by their straps: two for the Arizona, one for the Madrid, a toe-post for the Gizeh, and crossed straps for the Mayari. They come in two widths, normal and narrow, indicated by the imprint on the sole, filled for the narrow style. The narrow width often suits women's slim feet better, and the brand generally runs large.

The versions lined with lambskin, like the Arizona Lammfell, extend the season into autumn, while the EVA versions are great for the beach. Everyday sneakers, such as Skechers Uno with air bubbles or Nike V5 RNR in a retro style, complete the footwear wardrobe.

Organic Cotton Jeans and Sustainable Clothing

The German brand Armedangels manufactures its jeans and clothing from organically grown cotton, free from synthetic pesticides, and relies on labels like GOTS, which governs the entire textile transformation chain, from fibre to finished product. Jeans should be washed inside out and at a low temperature, not too often, to maintain their colour and fit.

Superdry, a British brand, offers its sweatshirts and down jackets with graphics inspired by America and Japan. A down jacket should be chosen based on its filling, down for the best warmth-to-weight ratio, synthetic for easier maintenance and better performance in the rain.

Swimsuits and Lingerie

A padded bikini top, like those from the brand Freya, is chosen like a bra, based on underbust and cup size, ensuring proper support in the water and during beach activities. The swimsuit should be rinsed in clean water after each use and dried in the shade, as chlorine, salt, and sunscreen are the main causes of wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Birkenstock Arizona, Madrid, and Gizeh sandals?

It all comes down to the straps: two for the Arizona, one for the Madrid, a toe-post for the Gizeh, and crossed straps for the Mayari. All resting on the brand's anatomical cork sole, which moulds to the foot.

Can Birkenstock sandals be worn in autumn?

The lambskin-lined versions, like the Arizona Lammfell, extend the season into autumn, and the Boston clog in suede covers the transitional seasons. The EVA versions, however, are reserved for the beach.
