Posted at 08:44h in Fashion, Footwear, Seasonal, Trends by

When it comes to refreshing your look for the new season, one of the biggest changes coming out of a drizzly spring is your footwear. Out with heavy boots (for the most part, at least…) and time for something breezier. And doesn’t it just feel delicious slipping into your summer slides the first time the weather allows for it? From minimalist styles to transitional fisherman sandals, many are sandal trends we return to summer after summer. Adding a solid new pair to your summer outfit rotation is therefore never a bad investment.

This season there is something for everyone. Minimalists will be happy to see many 90s-style thin straps and slim soles creating ultra-pared-back options. Those of us looking for a practical answer to pounding the pavements can look to chunkier footbed soles, sturdier straps, and buckles making a major fashion footprint for summer. And if you’re after a sexier approach, slinky ankle ties, and jewellery-inspired details provide great day-to-night solutions. Anyway, more on that later, here are the 8 2024 summer sandal trends you will want to slip into this season…
