A good pair of travel sandals are truly the unsung hero of every fashionable person's wardrobe when they jet off on vacation. Sure, having a trusty pair of sneakers in your suitcase is always nice when you're heading out of town for the summer, but a pair of good travel sandals? They're essential.
If you're not sure what travel sandals are exactly, here's a quick refresher on the style. They're often flat sandals that don't come with a ton of fuss. They can look good worn with socks on the plane or on their own for days spent by the beach. The key is to find some sandals that are easy to slip in and out of and that can be dressed up or worn casually. The more versatile they are, the better.
