Russell & Bromley’s The Navigator Brings Summer-Ready Versatility

Russell & Bromley delivers effortless summer dressing with The Navigator, a collection that refines warm-weather footwear through craftsmanship and modern detail. Led by Creative Director Daniel Beardsworth-Shaw, the SS25 lineup moves between classic formality and easygoing leisure, designed for seamless transitions between city streets and coastal escapes.

Familiar silhouettes return with subtle upgrades. The Burlington Chelsea boot and Davis loafer are reworked in lighter suedes for summer wear, while the Benny loafer and Crosby sandal offer a relaxed take on deckside style. Texture is key—woven leathers, nubuck, and exotic prints feature across pieces like the Ilton espadrille and Tunstall loafer, blending classic shapes with contemporary finishes.

The palette leans into sun-faded neutrals and coastal tones—butter yellows, aquatic blues, and apricot shades sit alongside clean, wearable neutrals like bone and ice. Captured against the dynamic landscapes of South Africa, the campaign, shot by Aart Verrips and styled by Sam Ranger, mirrors the collection’s ease and quiet luxury.

The Navigator is built for movement. Whether it’s the daily city routine or a slow afternoon by the coast, Russell & Bromley’s latest drop delivers understated elegance with an instinct for modern practicality.
