Sandal season is just around the corner (ish), and there's no better way to celebrate than by indulging in a new pair. Today's chicest sandals lift from the most elevated trends of the past few years, making for comfortable designs with an elegant undercurrent. From closed-toe styles to sleek and slinky pairs, each category notes classic and relaxed designs that will see you through the warmest season in style.
Climbing the ranks on Google Trends and cropping up on social media pages more and more by the day, these are the sandals that fashion people are reaching for right now. With a mixture of high-street finds and cult designer buys, read on to discover the four sandal trends that speak to Britain's most stylish for S/S 24.

1. FISHERMAN SANDALS
Style Notes: The fisherman sandals trend has been circulating for a few seasons now, offering the practicality, coverage and all-day comfort that other trending sandals lack. With thick straps and a hardy sole, the trending sandal offers a chic way to toughen up a flowy dress throughout the summer months.
SHOP THE TREND:
These also come in a metallic silver colourway.
Toughen up a flowy dress or wear with denim shorts.
The Row's fisherman sandals are a fashion person's favourites.
Fisherman sandals offer a more secure shoe than their strappy equivalents, making them comfortable and easy to wear all day.

3. PLATFORM SANDALS
Style Notes: Since Chloé debuted its A/W 24 show in Paris in February, fashion people have become obsessed with newly-trending platform sandals. With a relaxed, boho energy, platform sandals add inches to your height without the discomfort of a traditional heeled sandal.
SHOP THE TREND:
Wear with cotton layers or style with a linen set.
These also come in green and beige.
These are destined to sell out come wedding season.
The platform design makes these far more comfortable than regular heels.
4. LEATHER FLIP-FLOPS
Style Notes: Elevating the energy of the casual flip-flop, leather pairs have been taking off for the past few summers. Style them with denim cut-offs, flowing dresses or long trousers all season long.
SHOP THE TREND:
The small kitten heel adds a chic edge.
A comfortable shoe you'll want to keep on all day.
