Uterqüe snake skin ballerinas with chain detail

If you haven't come across Uterqüe yet, you have been missing out on a paradise for the smart-casual minimalist. Created in 2008 by the Spanish group Inditex, the brand is the most recent addition to the likes of Zara, Massimo Dutti, and Oysho…with a twist: it heralds the revival of accessories as the key to a well-finished look. Garments are discreet, handbags inconspicuous, but accessories are gold, bold and the life of the look. 

These snake skin ballerinas, accessorised with a gorgeous chain strung over the front, is the epitome of what the brand is about: basics framing the beauty of detail. It's an immaculate recipe for well-rounded wardrobe.
