This Random Sandal Trend Is Blowing Up at Zara

When Zara goes all in on a trend, we tend to pay close attention. After all, the retailer is always one of the first to stock up on the coolest emerging trends of the moment, making its selection one worth stalking on the regular. That's exactly what I was doing in its sandal section this morning when I was overwhelmed by one detail I kept seeing over and over on the majority of sandals I scrolled past: buckles.

Yes, you read that right. I'm calling this sandal trend random because, quite frankly, I haven't seen or heard anyone else talking about buckle details on shoes at all this season. Yet Zara seems to think that it's a trend to know—or why else would it be offering so many options? From strappy kitten heels to animal print and espadrilles, buckle details are adorning so many sandals at Zara that it has us reconsidering our go-to styles.

To see what I mean, keep reading to shop all the buckled sandals on the site right now.
