In the summer of last year, you couldn’t scroll through Instagram without seeing at least one image of The Row’s ‘Bare’ strappy sandals. You know the ones. The minimalist shoes with a skinny mid-heel and three very strategically placed thin straps. From editors to influencers, It girls to celebrities, the shoes had a very stylish fan base the world over and garnered the coveted title of a sell-out accessory.
Of course, when any item becomes that popular, it spawns a trend, and as to be expected, soon minimalist, barely-there strappy sandals began appearing everywhere. From contemporary to high-street brands, strappy sandals acquired a cult-like status and this year, it seems the trend has no intention of slowing down.
Between The Row’s new colour-ways, and iterations across Topshop, H&M, & Other Stories and more, this summer, minimal thin strap sandals are set to be as popular as ever. In fact, several stylish women have already started to champion the trend.
So, how have strappy sandals been upgraded for 2020? Well for starters they’ve been created in a whole host of new colours, from pastel blue and yellow to bright orange. Not to mention, they’ve been given quite the intricate update, with brands spanning Staud and Manu Atelier, creating thin strap sandals with intricate criss-cross detailing.
