It’s officially sandal season, but if you’re looking for a bigger investment than Havaianas flip-flops, it can be daunting to know where to look. And while we have nothing but love for flip-flops, your summer footwear wardrobe deserves a little bit of glam, too.
Fashion girls often talk about designer shoes but not necessarily designer sandals. It can be hard to stomach a splurge that feels so seasonal, but we believe designer sandals can be worth it if you just make the right choice. Instead of looking for trendy, look for something timeless, like a Gucci Horsebit platform clog or a strappy Prada sandal with leather floral tassels. Plus, summer vacation is meant to be fabulous, so why not spend a little on something you maybe wouldn’t otherwise buy?
Ahead, the best designer sandals we are immediately adding to our wish list.
