There are a few telltale signs that signal the arrival of warm weather, but none more definitive than the sight of toes peeking out from beneath maxi skirts, breezy summer dresses, and wide-leg linen trousers—all perfectly paired with this season’s most stylish sandals.
As a staple of the spring and summer months, and occasionally autumn too if the weather holds, sandals are a part of our wardrobes that often get overlooked until the time calls to slip into them once more. With blazing sunny days officially upon us, now is as good a time as any to find your forever pair.
For many us who have minimalism front and centre of our personal aesthetics, that means searching for an understated sandal that can blend with the rest of our wardrobes, from dresses to tailoring and even denim too. Minimalist styles include sleek leather thongs, chic toe-ring details, delicate ankle straps, and simple slide silhouettes to effortlessly elevate any summer outfit with understated elegance. And, while the high street is brimming with wonderful affordable styles from COS (special mention to the designer-looking leather flip flops), H&M and Reformation, we've also included elevated designer picks from the likes of Khaite and The Row.
