I Have Expensive Taste, But Zara’s Viral £30 Sandals Are the Only Pair I Want This Spring
Zara’s cult toe-ring sandals have returned for spring—alongside a very strong line-up of chic new pairs.
If there’s one brand that knows how to catapult a simple item into a full-blown viral moment, it’s Zara. From last year’s lace-trimmed silk dress that seemed to appear on every stylish influencer overnight, to the polka-dot jacket that sold out within days, it often only takes a whisper about a great Zara find for it to disappear from shelves almost instantly. Case in point? Last summer’s viral Toe-Ring Sandals.
With their sleek criss-cross straps, polished gold toe detail and delicate ankle buckle, the sandals quickly swept Instagram. Suddenly, every influencer with impeccably expensive taste was styling the designer-passing pair with everything from linen trousers to floaty summer dresses. The slightly squared-off toe only added to the elevated feel, making them look far more expensive than their price tag suggests. The good news? Zara’s cult toe-ring sandals are officially back for spring, and I have a feeling history is about to repeat itself.
Of course, the viral style isn’t the only standout this season. Zara has also dropped an impressively strong line-up of sandals, including chic flip-flops, minimalist mules, and platform wedges, all with that signature expensive-looking finish the brand does so well.
