Ahead shop the styles our editors will be wearing all season long.

“I love these Raye sandals because they’re perfect for wearing casually or dressed up. Plus they have those thin straps that feel really current for spring.”

“I’m taking these thong sandals on every vacation this summer. I might even buy the red too.”

“From the square toes to the sculptural wooden heels, these simple sandals are a no-brainer. Plus they’re super comfortable!”
Available in sizes 6 to 10.

“Okay, so technically I don’t own them yet, but Everlane just launched super-cute block-heeled sandals, and I swear they’re going to be my next purchase. Everlane has a knack for making styles that are cool without being overly trendy so I can wear them for a few summers to come.”

“Nicole put these in an affordable shoe story recently and I fell in love. I also want them in the pale yellow color!”
Available in sizes 34 to 41.

“These sandals are one-part practical and one-part disco. I truly appreciate that mix.”
Available in sizes 6.5 to 10.5.

"These are just as versatile and timeless as my basic black sandals, but far less boring."

“These simple slides are easily the most expensive-looking shoes at Zara right now. They’re already a hit among the fashion crowd, so we suggest you snap them up before they (inevitably) sell out.”

“I’ve never ordered a pair of used shoes before, but this pair from The Real Real might be the first to hit my closet. Everything from the strappy style to the excellent price point ($145 for Manolos!) hit all the right notes.”
