When the dreariness of winter starts to fade and we get the first hopeful signs of spring, one of the first things I get excited to wear again are sandals. It's important to let your feet breathe after all the lined boots and thick socks that worked so hard to keep them warm. Plus, how else will we show off our fresh pedicures and anklets? Though Los Angeles doesn't get particularly cold in the winter, it has been abnormally rainy this year. So now that all the puddles are dry and the sun is making its overdue appearance, I can't wait to wear the 37 pairs of cute spring sandals that I spent hours searching in excitement for this week. (They'll work for summer, too—just saying.)

There are tons of options like comfy slides, classic flip-flops, fun flatforms, and elegant kitten heels, so you can find a pair for any and every possible need or occasion. And though neutrals are a go-to, I also browsed some bold colors if you prefer your spring footwear steal the spotlight. Keep scrolling to shop these 37 spring sandals and get inspired by the warmer weather ahead.

Freelance Fashion Editor

Lauren Adhav is a freelance fashion editor based in Los Angeles. Originally from Orlando, Florida, she always wanted to work at a fashion magazine. After finally getting an internship at Town & Country in 2015, she moved to New York City and continued to get her footing in the industry with stints at Cosmopolitan, W magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and Moda Operandi. In 2017, she returned to Cosmo full time, starting off as the beauty and fashion editorial assistant and working her way to fashion editor. She contributed to both the website and print issues, pitching new ideas, forecasting trends, covering red carpet events, and informing the overall coverage and brand voice.

After five years in NYC, she moved to the West Coast for the sunshine and the change of pace. As a freelance fashion editor, she still contributes to Cosmo and now Who What Wear. She's always trying to get ahead of the next big trend before it goes mainstream and loves discovering fashion brands with a unique point of view (Chopova Lowena, Sandy Liang, and Bode being some of her current favorites). She also spends an unhealthy amount of time online shopping for the perfect piece, and now that she's in L.A., she's rediscovering her soft spot for malls. On the weekends, you can find her walking around the Silver Lake Reservoir, trying to catch up on her tan at Venice Beach, and probably ordering a Chinese chicken salad at Joan's on Third.
