Whether you're a pedicure person or not, sandal season is upon us, and we couldn't be more ready. After a long winter spent in trusty boots, it's time to slip into something lighter that's just as comfortable.
It's easy to go crazy in the shoe department (too many cute things to choose from!), but the reality is that you only need a handful of core styles to see you through spring and summer. Allow us to make it easier for you. Here we highlight the only five sandal styles you need in your wardrobe.
