The Best Summer Sandals To Style Out The Season
Whether you’re spending summer in the city, escaping to far-flung shores, or making the most of a picturesque poolside, sandals are a must-have for your warm-weather closet, says COLLEEN ROSS. Discover the styles to wear now…
If, like us, you can’t get enough of the jelly-shoe trend, then you’re in for a treat. First seen on the SS25 runway, Chloé’s thong sandals in sky-blue TPU are an elevated take on the style and have a playful petal-shaped heel that’s low enough for dancing the night away. Echo the brand’s romantic spirit by styling yours with a billowy, floral-print maxi dress for summer occasions.
For vacation, opt for something with an easy, bohemian feel, like K Jacques St Tropez’ ‘Dolon’ slides, which are handcrafted from cutout black leather and will go with absolutely everything, from shorts and breezy cover-ups to midi dresses and linen coords. Elsewhere, try The Row’s ‘Dune’ flip flops, which have a pumped-up rubber sole and grosgrain straps.
For an elevated everyday sandal, the key is to choose a pair that’s supportive, timeless and chic. Ticking all three boxes, A.Emery’s cult ‘Jalen Slim’ style in merlot leather will look effortlessly elegant with a sleek maxi skirt and a white tank top for sun-soaked days in the city.
And on balmy summer evenings, turn to Gianvito Rossi’s ‘Portofino’ sandals. The minimal design and timeless leopard-print finish make them an elevated classic. Similarly, Emme Parsons’ barely-there ‘Cecilia’ sandals are a style that you can rely on all summer long. Match your pedicure to the glossy red finish and show them off with tailored shorts or a mini dress.
