Fashion People Have Spoken—This Is the Chicest Sandal Style of the Summer

Mark my words: This is going to be an excellent summer for sandal trends. Whilst the warmer months used to be synonymous with simple white trainers and strappy sandals, this season's offerings cast a far wider net, pulling in fresh styles, comfortable staples and elevated basics that will keep you feeling chic throughout the season.
Of all the new footwear trends that have piqued my interest, no style has made as strong an impression as the emerging kitten-heel sandals trend. Cut to the same low-heel height as traditional closed-toe kitten heels, kitten-heel sandals offer a lightweight option ideal for wearing through the summer season.
With an open-toe design, these trending sandals retain a relaxed energy that is elevated by the subtle yet impactful kitten heel height. Both a stylish addition to a jeans-and-tee outfit and the perfect accompaniment to a floor-sweeping dress, this versatile shoe trend is about to become the most reached-for in my wardrobe.
Whilst I'm charmed by The Row's barely-there pair, high-street heroes Mango, Zara and Reformation all offer elegant iterations that are destined to fly. To shop the styles we're into right now, read on to discover our edit of the best kitten-heel sandals.
