When packing for a trip, everyone always lands on the same question: how many pairs of shoes should I take?
The answer depends on where you're travelling, but for most week-long, or shorter, trips, you can comfortably manage with three carefully chosen pairs.
What shoes should you pack for a week away?
A good pair of sneakers is almost always essential. Whether you're travelling through airports, exploring a new city or spending the day sightseeing, comfortable sneakers are likely to be one of your most-worn shoes.
The second pair should be something more relaxed. In warmer destinations, that's usually an elegant sandal or open-toe flat. For cooler weather, a boot is often the better choice.
For everything else, one well-chosen pair of heels or mules can cover far more than you might expect.
Can one pair of heels work for an entire holiday?
They certainly can, provided they're versatile enough.
This is exactly the thinking behind Farrago's Charter Mules. Handmade in Portugal from premium leather, selected styles include interchangeable accessories, allowing one pair to create three distinct looks.
Wear them without an accessory for a relaxed lunch or afternoon exploring. Add a leather bow for dinner, or switch to the sequin strap for cocktails, celebrations or an evening out. The result is three different looks without needing three different pairs of shoes.
Travelling light doesn't have to mean compromising on style. With fewer shoes in your suitcase and more ways to wear them, you can pack with confidence, knowing you're ready for everything from long lunches and city walks to dinners, parties and special occasions.
