I'm Calling It: These Are the Best Designer Sandals of 2025
With the first official day of spring just a stone's throw away, it's finally become socially acceptable to talk about (and purchase) sandals again. Sure, it's 37 degrees in NYC as I'm writing this, but that's not stopping me from preparing for the coming season, because it will be here eventually and the weather will just have to follow suit. And, while we’ll have our fair share of affordable-everything roundups this spring, summer, and beyond, today I wanted to focus on the designer sandals I think are about to be everywhere next season. Since predicting trends and It-items is both my job and favorite hobby, I think you can trust me on this one. Ready to see what made the cut and shop the best pairs for yourself? Simply keep scrolling.
They come in three colors, and I want them all.
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. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
