Summer is here and I'm just about ready to pack away my final pair of closed-toe shoes and embrace the summer sun in all of its glory. Having slowly sifted through my footwear collection to make these final swaps, I've come to appreciate an underrated sandal style that's proven to be the unsung hero of my summer-shoe rotation.
Although I'll always be a fan of classic black, it actually the fresh white pairs that have been involved in all of my best looks as of late. Just as versatile as your favourite black sandals, white styles add that extra summery edge that can lift an outfit into fresh territory. Styling well the brighter colour palette often found in a summer wardrobe, white sandals compete a light ensemble without contrasting it, as darker pairs often do.
As with any white item, the crux of its chicness lays in your ability to keep it clean. A leather soap or a white shoe polish will fix the odd stain with ease, however, to get the most our of your pairs, try to be extra cautious of the weather forecast on days when you want to style them and avoid very grassy areas if possible.
ARE WHITE SANDALS IN STYLE FOR SUMMER 2024?
With a classic, neutral base white sandals are a footwear trend that routinely come back into style summer after summer. Rather than the colour ever fading out of favour, it's the shape of the sandals can ebb and flow out of fashion across the years. This season, every style has merit as brands embraced all from barely-there pairs, to low heel styles.
Whilst I wouldn't assert that any particular types of white sandals as "out" there are a few pairs that I can definitively declare are "in". Read on to discover the white sandal trends that we're shopping for summer 2024.
