May sunshine is here, so stop covering up your gorgeous pedicure with socks and closed-toe shoes. Even if you have an office-based 9-to-5 gig, there are lots of work-appropriate sandals that will show off your perfectly polished toes. Most business-casual workplaces frown upon flip-flops and athletic sandals, but a sophisticated pair of sandals with a little more foot coverage maintains the look of a consummate professional and lets your feet breathe. Incorporate these work-ready sandals into your wardrobe for a touch of summery style that will make Monday mornings a little more palatable.
