I'm Basically an Expert on Black Sandals—These Are the Best Pairs to Buy Now
So what makes me "basically an expert on black sandals”? Well, let me tell you. Aside from owning more pairs than I’d like to admit (or can even easily count), they’re also pretty much the only shoes I wear from the beginning of spring when the temperatures rise to the end of summer when they start to drop back down again. In fact, even my husband makes fun of my obsession, jokingly asking me every time a package arrives at our apartment whether it’s another pair of black sandals. The joke is on him though because, oftentimes, it is!
Anyway, I've gotten off track. Back to today's story. Given my extensive knowledge of the black-sandal market and the fact that spring is finally in full swing and summer is so close I can taste it, I figured it would be a fitting time to round up the best pairs out there right now—all 27 of them. To see and shop all my picks, priced as low as $18, just keep scrolling.
Those simple flat sandals you can wear with anything and keep forever.
Sporty sandals—what everyone on Instagram is wearing at home.
Trendy and comfortable at the same time thanks to the convenient block heel.
Every summer, these dominate my Instagram feed, leading me to believe that they must be as great as their reviews imply.
I love the woven detail on these. They'll look so good with straight-leg jeans.
It's unclear why I haven't already bought these, but the time is nearing.
Next: eight random trends that are definitely a thing right now.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
