Whether you’re thinking of your upcoming holiday or just the looming summer months, we’ve rounded up the best sandals to shop this season. From trendy sliders and slip-ons to classic gladiators and strappy midi-heels.
In the red corner, weighing in at oversized and chunky, we have the heavyweight sibling to the dad sneaker, the ‘ugly’ sporty sandal shown at the likes of Gucci, Stella McCartney, Dries Van Noten and Prada.
These are the descendants of divisive styles like Birkenstocks that combine fashion and function.
In the blue corner, you have the return of super minimal naked sandals that hark back to the 90s and really pack a sartorial punch.
This style is all about less is more with barely-three straps for a silhouette that promises to be more popular than ever. From the office to post-work drinks, parties and wedding season, these versatile shoes bring an understated elegance that will add instant polish to your look.
There is also the return of cult classics like mules, gladiator sandals and woven espadrille-like options that have utilitarian appeal and are perennially chic.
Push your ankle boots to the back of your wardrobe for another season, it’s time to free those toes from their winter confines – British weather permitting.
