Sandal season has officially arrived, and there's no better way to celebrate than by indulging in a new pair. Today's chicest sandals lift from the most elevated trends of the past few years, making for comfortable designs with an elegant undercurrent. From closed-toe styles to sleek and slinky pairs, each category notes classic and relaxed designs that will see you through the warmest season in style.
Climbing the ranks on Google Trends and cropping up on social media pages more and more by the day, these are the sandals that fashion people are reaching for right now. With a mixture of high-street finds and cult designer buys, read on to discover the four sandal trends that speak to Britain's most stylish for S/S 24.

1. FISHERMAN SANDALS
Style Notes: The fisherman sandals trend has been circulating for a few seasons now, offering the practicality, coverage and all-day comfort that other trending sandals lack. With thick straps and a hardy sole, the trending sandal offers a chic way to toughen up a flowy dress throughout the summer months.
