The Perfect Summer Sandal you Need NOW

If we had it our way, summer would last all year round and we would ditch our winter wardrobe and flaunt our summer style. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case and we have to do what we can during the few months we’re given to enjoy our sarongs and denim cut-offs. It seems as if every summer there are new trends to combat the heat and keep us cool while never sacrificing chicness but one item we are guaranteed to re-purchase every summer solstice is the sandal. The sandal has to serve the function of keeping cool and keeping cute and out of all the trends that come and go, this is one that we always keep on our radar and are rushing to our laptop to order in every color.

This sandal has many different names but we prefer to simply call it the “strappy sandal” but maybe you know it as a gladiator sandal. Either way you put it, what attracts us to this footwear is its versatility. Whether it's leather or snakeskin, block heel or kitten, ankle wrap tie or strap, these sandals can go from day to night with ease. We love these sandals because they are light and won’t have our freshly manicured feet sweating or slipping around and they are the next best thing to being barefoot. These sandals go with all of your summer looks and are a big level up from the thong sandal aka the flip-flop but they don’t compromise style for comfort.

Our favorite strappy sandal includes a dramatic ankle strap that when wrapped close to the ankle serves as a built in anklet, but for an evening transition we wrap the strap up our calves and pair it with a silk slip dress. Our go to colors are neutral ones such as white, tan and black but when we’re feeling more daring and more sexy we turn to a snakeskin print that’s guaranteed to turn heads. Besides versatility, style and comfort what we also appreciate about this sandal style is that it never goes out of style. It's because it comes in so many different styles, materials and colors that it can be worked into any outfit. The gladiator sandal isn’t bound to one heel shape or size and you can opt for a strap or without and that’s what makes this sandal so easy to style. This summer we’re skipping the endless search for the “it” sandal because we’ve found it and you can believe that we’re buying it in every color.
