And just like that, it's officially summer again. Beach days, alfresco dining, and summer trips are on the horizon, and if you're anything like me, you've been prepping your seasonal wardrobe for weeks already. I have all my summer needs covered, from key trends to linen to swimwear, with just one category to go—sandals. Summer accessories are always my favorite items to shop for because it's the season you can really lean into personality pieces, keeping your outfits minimal and letting your bags and sandals do the talking.
With that in mind, I did a deep dive into the shoe sections of my go-to retailers, searching for the chicest sandal options of the season. After much scrolling, I landed on 33 pairs I think are it. Think snakeskin, suede, metal embellishments, beads, and pops of color. Each pair touches on a 2025 trend (hello, flip-flops!) or is a classic style you'll wear for years to come. Since the standout pieces always sell out first, I'm sharing the best sandals from Shopbop, Zara, and Revolve so you can add them to your summer wardrobe before they're gone.
