Hands Down, This Is the Best High-Street Store for Sandals This Summer
I love it when items of clothing really last. And I don’t just mean in terms of trends, although that is helpful, but durability too. One pair of sandals that I’ve worn repeatedly over the past four summers is a pair of black block-heel sandals from & Other Stories. They’re classic, not too high and go with everything from jeans to midi dresses. They’re the kind of shoes I can easily wear in the office, as they’re not too high to walk around in, but they’ve also seen me through quite a few weddings.
This season, & Other Stories has had a great drop of footwear that is ideal for this summer and the next few years to come. The high-street store often combines current trends with classic styles, so whenever you buy from this shop, I always think you’re getting more for your money. Below, I’ve created an edit of the coolest pairs the shop stocks at the moment. There are flat sandals as well as dressier versions, but I know all will last in your wardrobe. Keep scrolling to see the edit.
