As Marilyn Monroe famously said, give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world. But there’s no mention that the right shoes have to be expensive, am I right?! In fact, some of the chicest sandals I own (that elicit innumerable compliments) have actually clocked in at under $50… a fashion victory if there ever was one!
One of the most satisfying parts of my job is finding and sharing a well-priced piece that’s trendy, chic, and looks way more expensive than it actually is. Today, I’m sharing some of my latest and greatest sandal finds for the sunny season just around the corner. Whether for work or weekend, these chic under-$50 sandals hit some of the season’s biggest trends and are destined for cult status.
Strappy Sandals
Delicate straps will make your feet look stunning this summer. They’re trending hard right now so get your toes into these affordable options below. Don’t forget your pedicure.
The perfect heel height, these strappy stunners look way more expensive than they actually are.

Animal Print
The animal-print trend is here to stay—and we couldn’t be happier. From zebra to leopard print, consider it your new neutral.
Zebra print is having a major moment right now.
Just add straight leg jeans and a black lace camisole for your next date night outfit.
We’ll be wearing these with denim shorts every summer weekend.
Sporty Sandals
Fashion girls are all over the sporty sandal trend right now. They’re unexpectedly cool, comfortable, and work with dresses and jeans alike. Forget the "tourist” sandals of the past; the newest iterations up the cool factor and are made for the modern fashion-forward woman.
No one does sporty sandals better than Teva. The brand has some of the most fun strap designs this season.
Chunky sartorial fun.
Pair with your floral midi dresses for a cool-girl look.
Barely-There
Nothing looks more sensual than sandals that you barely even notice are there. The perfect choice for the modern minimalist.
These are going to sell out super quick. Add to cart ASAP.
A minimalist’s delight.
Just add cropped slim jeans for a seriously chic look.
Mock Croc / Snakeskin
Like animal print, mock-croc and faux-snakeskin fabrics are trending hard for spring and summer. Get your toes into these wildly affordable gems.

You’ll wear these sumptuous sandals on repeat.
We can’t believe these are $35 either.
Feel-Good Flats
It goes without say that a pair of everyday flat sandals are a must for the warm season ahead. These bright, bold pairs will put you in the summer mood in no time.
Show off your tan in trending sunny yellow.
We love the cool design.
Just looking at these puts a smile on our face.
Translucent
Clear PVC styles go with literally everything in your closet. They’re wildly popular for summer, and there are plenty of silhouettes for every sartorial taste.
These also come in a cool iridescent pink. (We may just get both.)
Comfortable and cool.
Add a nostalgic and playful touch to your outfit this summer.
