Whether you’re spending summer in the city, escaping to far-flung shores, or making the most of a picturesque poolside, sandals are a must-have for your warm-weather wardrobe, says COLLEEN ROSS. Discover the styles to wear now…
If, like us, you can’t get enough of the boho trend, you’re in for a treat. Alaïa’s embellished suede sandals offer a polished take on the look, meaning you can wear them to the office, too. Show them off with cropped hemlines and billowy, floral-print maxi dresses for summer occasions.
For vacation, opt for something you can effortlessly slide on and off throughout the day, such as St. Agni’s chocolate leather sandals from our NET SUSTAIN edit. With their elegant woven design, they’ll go with absolutely everything – from shorts and breezy cover-ups to midi dresses and linen co-ords. For evening, try Valentino Garavani’s ‘VLogo’ pair, made from checked canvas with textured-leather trims and finished with a comfortable block heel – ideal if you’re taking a sunset stroll after dinner.
For an elevated everyday sandal, the key is choosing a pair that’s both supportive and timeless. Ticking both boxes, Toteme’s understated suede slides (exclusive to NET-A-PORTER), in a neutral hue the brand calls ‘Pepper,’ look effortlessly chic with a linen maxi skirt and a white tank top on sun-soaked days in the city.
On balmy summer evenings, turn to Gianvito Rossi’s ‘Calypso’ mules. The minimalist design and timeless brown suede finish make them an elevated classic. Similarly, Aquazzura’s suede wedge sandals are a style you can rely on all summer long – whether paired with midi skirts or cropped wide-leg pants. Just be sure to stock up on suede spray to keep your collection protected and pristine.
