Not to Be Dramatic, But These Are the Only 35 Summer Sandals That Matter
I don't know about you, but summer shopping is in full swing in my house. I'm scouring the internet every chance I get for the best shorts, hats, dresses, and, naturally, sandals. Sandals, in fact, are the base to pretty much every single outfit of mine from June to September. Barring a few exceptions for cute flats or sneakers, I wear my sandals 24/7, so now that summer is coming into view, I have my sights set on a new pair—or, honestly, several.
I've already narrowed in on a few 2025 sandal trends I'm eager to tap into, including luxe-looking suede sandals, pretty hardware-embellished styles, childhood-inspired jelly sandals, and '90s-minimalist mules. Now, the only thing left to do is shop, and shop I have. The below edit spans everything from The Row to Reformation, so continue on to discover my handpicked list of the best summer sandals to shop now and wear in the months to come.
I already know several chic women who have these on their wish lists.
These are oddly similar to a much more expensive pair Hailey Bieber wore recently. Just saying.
Good luck finding these if you wait too long—they're selling out scary quick.
Tory Burch, if you're listening, please never stop iterating on your Pierced shoes.
At least three Who What Wear staffers already own these, and I might be next.
I wore these constantly last summer and have just put them back in the rotation again.
Sofia Richie Grainge, Hailey Bieber—the list of celeb fans is growing stronger by the day.
If you buy any sandal trend this year, make it a pair of classic thongs.
The silhouette is giving The Row, but the price is giving sales tax on The Row.
Every Christopher Esber sandal style I see is even cooler than the last.
Don't sleep on Madewell's selection of sandals right now.
