How to Dress for Pride

Overall, pride is lots of fun, but it is also a very long day (or weekend, depending where you are).

You need some stellar shoes which are as comfortable as they are fabulous. Think chunky heels and platforms, as well as wide straps to keep them secure.

When it comes to bags, we have a huge range of options, from ultra handy wristlets ideal for holding all your essentials, or shoulder bags which bring the party with their fun colors and fabrics.
