The term "viral" is often thrown around loosely these days, in my opinion. One algorithm-happy TikTok and anything can hit viral fame, regardless of how many people are actually interested. For me, a true viral sensation is something that becomes undeniably ubiquitous—a trend that seems to be everywhere I turn.
Let's consider the bow-embellished sandals that have captured my attention recently. Over the past week, I've encountered a staggering 17 different versions of them. From affordable brands like Zara and Mango to luxury labels like Ferragamo and Wandler, these summer sandals are both enchanting and incredibly tempting, thanks to their delicate bows. If you need proof that this trend has truly gone viral, just keep scrolling. And prepare to have your credit cards ready, as I have a feeling you might want to make a purchase in a matter of seconds.
This shade of soft pink makes these Reformation sandals prettier.
Elegance is a $50 shoe purchase away.
Pair these with loose jeans and a lady jacket.
Finally, a Barbiecore purchase I can get behind.
Simply perfect.
The thick heel makes these more than just pretty—they're comfortable, too.
For your wedding wardrobe, perhaps.
The South of France called. It said to book a stay at one of its seaside beaches just so you can wear these sandals.
Now all that's left to do is plan an event so that you have an excuse to wear these.
The '60s-Mod vibes are strong.
If it's red, I want it. And these kitten-heel sandals are no exception.
These come in the most gorgeous shade of jade-green as well.
Fact: I'll never not want a pair of these.
The blue footbed only makes me love these more.
Metallics and footwear have never had a stronger relationship than they do in 2023.
Wandler makes the most comfortable heels. Trust me.
Consider me obsessed.
