It’s time to move the boots to the back of the closet and bring out the sandals! If you want to freshen up your wardrobe with a new pair, whether it be something more streamlined or something a bit chunkier, here are some ideas to launch your wardrobe into warm weather.
Loeffler Randall
This Loeffler Randall Strappy Flat Sandal is simple yet elegant and can be worn with linen pants, jeans, a dress, or a skirt…anything really!
And this Loeffler Randall Natural Chunky Woven Raffia Sandal will give you a bit of a boost but isn’t too high!
We know we are focusing on more casual options, but wanted to throw these fun ones on the list. In case you’re looking for some dressy ‘statement’ sandals, this pair may be the one! For a wedding perhaps!? Or these convey simple elegance.
J.Crew:
J.Crew’s New Colbie sandals are like sleek, more refined Birkenstocks, and are also very similar (although less $) to the beautiful A. Emery option below.
A. Emery
A. Emery Prince sandals (low stock currently) are beautiful slides.
Emme Parsons
Emme Parsons has SUCH beautiful sandals – quality, streamlined, casual elegance! Chrissie has been coveting a pair of the Bari sandals for a while (they come in six colors and have a wonderfully molded footbed for comfort), but all of Emme Parsons’s sandals are so sleek and sophisticated.
Look at these sophisticated Emme Parsons flat sandals (they come in four colors).
And she makes an ‘elevated flip flop’!
Larroude:
Larroude makes both a flat and a heeled version of this ‘dressier’ sandal, great for dresses or pants, that comes in a lot of color options, including a raffia version. Their slide is also a great, ‘fancy casual’ choice, as is their regular ‘flip flop’ style sandal. They all come in multiple colors and offer more cushioning than a traditional flat sandal, for added comfort.
And this platform is available in 6 colorways, but isn’t this a fun one!!? (It’s available for 30% off if you pre-order now.)
Marni:
These are a classic. Jo wore the Fussbett sandal all week while in So. Cal last week and loves them! Yes, they are pricey but they are a classic and will last for years.
Toteme:
The go-to sandal for the understated sophisticate. This slingback with sand-colored canvas trim styled with Totême’s signature square toe and an asymmetric profile is a hit.
The Row:
Understated simplicity is the cornerstone of the Row, and it doesn’t get simpler than these ‘iconic’ flip flops!
Gucci:
These are an investment sandal that will never go out of style!
OluKai:
Known for their flip-flops, OluKai has some great styles out for spring, especially this one with the thick, padded cross straps, arch-supporting anatomical midsole footbed, and a grippy, non-marking sole.
Ancient Greek Sandals
People love this brand that has been around for ages (although we haven’t tried it ourselves!), and boy do they have a ton of great styles from which to choose. From this super streamlined gold pair (comes in a ton of colors) to on-trend jellies you can wear into the water if need be (based on their original shoe designed in Athens in the 50s), they have top-quality options.
Flatforms:
The top stitching on these cute ‘flatforms’ makes them fun to to wear with lightweight pants or jeans.
These cute, casual shoes give a bit of a lift and will go with anything!
Other:
These Vince raffia flats are casual chic that would match any pants, skirt or dress.
For a bit of embellishment, these Philip Lim flats are a great choice.
Enjoy!
