Two shoe picks worth knowing about — sleek white tabi split-toe ballet flats and classic black bit loafers with a gold buckle — both easy to dress up or down.
The tabi split toe is a small enough detail that it reads as a considered shoe choice rather than a costume piece — from more than a few feet away it just looks like a very clean white ballet flat. White keeps it light and works best with a cropped hem so the shoe actually shows.
A bit loafer with a kiltie fringe and hardware buckle is the dressier cousin of a penny loafer — wear it with cuffed jeans and a sock peeking out for something more casual, or bare ankle with trousers for the office. Both pairs are neutral enough to become the shoe you reach for without thinking, which is the real test of a good basic.
