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.
