Haters, Keep Scrolling—This Controversial Sandal Color Is Steaming Toward a Comeback
I'm here for it.

It's June 5, which, if you ask me, means it's officially sandal season. Head to your favorite nail salon for a fresh pedicure and then go home and pull your favorite sandals to the front of your closet. If you're still curating your collection, don't worry. You're not too far behind, but there are a few sandal trends to know before you make a purchase. At the top of the list are elevated flip-flops that can be taken to the beach or worn in town for a day of shopping. Next, we have woven leather sandals in a caged-toe or slip-on design, kitten-heel mules that speak for themselves, and '90s-inspired strappy sandals. When it comes to color, though, one hue is dominating the scene: white.
White sandals are shaping up to be a major trend for spring and summer 2025. They're simple and versatile and can be easily added to anyone's wardrobe. Plus, they feel very current and provide outfits with an effortless cool factor. If any of the above sounds like something you're into, keep scrolling—I'm sharing the best white sandals for the warm days. Additionally, you can explore white-sandal outfits for inspiration.

I saw these on senior fashion editor Eliza Huber, and I loved how expensive they looked in person.
Style Notes: Take a cue from Portugal-based content creator Débora Rosa and style your white flip-flops with breezy separates, like a linen button-down shirt and drawstring pants.
Style Notes: Pedal pushers are back, and if you want to elevate them, opt for white kitten-heel mules. The balance between the sporty bottoms and the polished shoes creates an unexpected but chic look that works every time.
Style Notes: As you can see by now, flip-flops and trousers are a fail-safe option, but don't be afraid to experiment with a flirty minidress or lace-trim slip skirt. Because of how versatile and neutral the shoe trend is, the outfit options are endless.
Style Notes: Another popular white-sandal style I forgot to mention is toe-ring sandals. The metal embellishment adds a small but significant touch that can take an outfit from good to great.
