I’ve Found It: This Chic Sandal-Colour Trend Goes With Every Single Dress
Not all sandal colour trends go with all dresses—this one actually does.
After months spent wrapped up in dark layers, dressing for summer always calls for colour, which, after styling blacks, charcoals and greys for months on end, can feel a little unfamiliar. That’s why, at the beginning of the season, I like to identify a few reliable wardrobe pillars that will work with a spectrum of summer shades.
This week, as Irina Shayk stepped out in Cannes, she introduced me to the sandal colour trend I’m now convinced pairs well with every dress colour: rich tan leather sandals.
Putting my theory to the test, Shayk styled the warm-toned sandals with a notoriously difficult-to-style peach dress. Rather than clashing or fading into the background, the soft tan hue complemented the peach perfectly, bringing balance, warmth and a sophistication to her daytime look.
The earthy, natural tone elevates brighter shades without overpowering them, creating a polished finish that works across almost any colour palette. And while it looks particularly chic with dresses, I have a feeling this sandal trend will wear just as well with denim, too.
Unlike black sandals, which can sometimes feel too stark against softer summer shades, or bold colour trends that compete with the rest of an outfit, tan offers a more refined alternative. Elegant and timeless, it’s easily one of the chicest sandal colours you can invest in this season. Read on to shop my edit of the best pairs below.
