An Insider’s Guide to Monte Carlo with Amira Khan
A guide to all the best spots in Monte-Carlo, saving you from the hassle of searching. I have noted down the best places to see and do in Monte Carlo without the fear of missing out on all the cool spots by Amira Khan.
It’s been an absolute pleasure to visit such a beautiful and vibrant city, giving you everything in one go from the best food and shopping spots to historical sites and nature spots. Most importantly for those who adore tennis, the Monte-Carlo Masters Tennis tournament is one to add to your bucket list. But it is nothing short from glamour, where every corner you will stumble upon the most extravagant cars, shops, architecture, yachts, and the world’s finest restaurants.
Whilst exploring the wonderful city, Superga UK new Spring/Summer collection has been keeping me stylish and more importantly comfortable throughout. Renowned for their Italian and tennis heritage, their footwear not only works for centre court but allows room for that off court style too. Perfect for the everyday style and a travel essential to pack on your journey. I find footwear to be the main item to pack around when it comes to travelling. Finding the right footwear that is practical but versatile to style with the rest of your items you pack is important. I couldn’t have had it any easier when packing along Superga’s core and new Spring/summer collection with me to explore the city of Monte-Carlo.
I love styling the Superga 2750 & the Superga 2843 Club S Comfort Leather with dresses and skirts giving a mix of feminine and sporty chic. Superga 2750 is a style that was conceived as the first Italian tennis shoe over 100 years ago, reinvented with a more modern touch whilst preserving their roots. I absolutely adore this style and design I think it can be styled in various ways; whether you’re after a sportier or loungewear look or if you’re feeling a little more on the feminine side and would like a casual pair of trainers to be styled with a dress or skirt these are the trainers to grab.
From Superga’s more recent summer collection their 2730 Rope Macrame espadrilles is my newfound obsession. They make the perfect pair of casual summer shoes that can be styled with essentially everything and a pair to pack for any vacation, they give the ultimate vacation/summer feel to any outfit.
However, if you are into the more relaxed look Superga’s 4089 Training 9TS Slim Vegan Faux Leather is the one to go for, I found them seamless for long walks around the city. Pairing them with a pair of slouchy jeans and an oversize shirt is by far one of my favourite outfits to sightsee in.
Superga’s wide range of trainers allowed me to truly express my style throughout exploring Monte-Carlo, which felt liberating and without the need to compromise on both style and comfort. In love with both the timeless designs and history behind Superga, it’s a community that advocates style having no boundaries.
Superga.co.uk is the go-to destination to shop everlasting and effortless designs whether a tennis lover, traveller or for your everyday wear.
