I know what you’re thinking: But black sandals go with everything. While you’re of course correct, I’m here to tell you about all the other sandal options that are bubbling up to compete with the classic black sandal this summer.
Whilst black remains a wearable and classic choice for the hottest months, there are some shades better suited to the new-season mood, and as a fashion editor, I've made it my mission to chronicle the new season sandal trends that will flourish in 2024.
The chicest shades you can think of are here to liven up your summer wardrobe. From fresh white shades that go with everything, to trending burgundy tones that work to anchor a light summer outfit, the new sandals colour trends are looking better than ever.
To complete your summer-ready wardrobe, read on to discover the six major sandal colour trends that we're backing right now, to ensure that you enter into the summer months on the most stylish foot possible.
6 SANDAL COLOUR TRENDS THAT ARE ON THE RISE FOR SUMMER 2024:
