Summer’s Biggest Trend: Strappy Sandals

Put a little pep in your step.

Put your winter blues, and shoes, aside to welcome the warm, summer days. Although a sneaker, oxfords or mules might be ideal to wear, sandals can elevate the most casual of outfits, and even provide more comfort for everyday use. But for a casual, elevated look, it is always important to remember the details: criss-cross straps. 

From leather fabrics to comfortable slip-ons, below are the trendiest sandals to wear this season.

You may have heard that the ‘90s are back, but so are the ‘70s. Prada’s Double-Strap Sandals take you back to the groovy days with their flat rectangular style and geometric elements. Unique to this shoe, the insoles come in a matching monochromatic version or in a silver metallic leather, and small leather buckles for added detail.

Graphics are important when selecting your next go-to sandal, and these Fendi Flow Sandals are full of them. With their criss-cross details, these sandals feature the Fendi “FF” motif across the ribbon bands. The “F” engraving continues throughout the show, including the sole and heel, in a vibrant yellow and black color.

Shoes that are perfect for transition from one season to the next. The Myles Sandal is a new style from Dr. Martens with an easy slip-on and thick adjustable buckle straps. This sandal is also super tough and durable thanks to its Brando leather, and will develop a worn-in vintage look overtime.

For those cool summer nights, the Birkenstock Arizona Suede Leather Sandal has the Arizona two strap style that is beloved by the brand but with an all-over shearling lining. The thick buckle details make it a bold style, while the soft interior fabric provides warmth and cushion. And for added comfort, this sandal is made with a cork-latex footbed.

Thom Brown’s Fisherman Sandals are the epitome of fisherman shoes, but with a Thom Brown twist. Brogue and punch-hole detailing is seen throughout the sandal that ties elegantly with the grosgrain loop tab at the heel. For a gold touch, a buckle fastening is draped on the side.

Sandals with a little bit of edge. The Versace Greca Touch Strap Sandals definitely make a statement with a black and gold Greek key pattern along the webbing and straps of the shoe. These jersey sandals also have adjustable straps for a customizable fit, and a chunky and tonal rubber sole.
