The Best Summer Sandals To Style Out The Season

For alfresco summer parties, Manolo Blahnik’s bright-red sandals are a worthy investment. The slender straps frame the foot, while a sturdy 65mm heel makes them the ideal dancing shoes at summer occasions that run from day to evening. Alternatively, Jil Sander’s minimalist sandals also rest on a comfortable 65mm heel, while Gianvito Rossi’s ‘Yasmine’ style – a NET-A-PORTER exclusive – come with a pumped-up sole for a little height. Wear yours with cropped tailored pants or a slinky summer dress.

Vacation invites the opportunity to have a little more fun with your footwear, so for something with an easy, bohemian feel, don’t miss Ancient Greek Sandals’ raffia iteration, or Aquazzura’s beaded style, which are exclusive to NET-A-PORTER this season. Wear them with shorts or a breezy cover-up at the beach, swapping for a mini dress when heading to dinner in the evening or cocktails at sunset.

For an elevated everyday sandal, the key is to choose a pair that’s supportive, timeless and chic. Ticking all three boxes, Le Monde Béryl’s strappy style 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 Amanu’s handcrafted sandals in black leather. The beautiful embellished design makes them an elevated classic – match your jewelry to the sage-green aventurine toe ring and show them off with tailored shorts.
