Shoe designer Emme Parsons recommends paying close attention to the strap placement when shopping for your next pair of sandals. “Strap placement is so important as well as proportion,” she says. “We always try to make shoes and sandals that are flattering and elongate the leg. I tend to have a pragmatic approach to design, and at the end of the day, my ultimate goal is to make women feel confident.” Parsons suggests her Laurie slides for a date (day or night) or her insanely comfortable Evvie slides for your next trip to the beach.
Whether you’re planning a date night outfit or deciding what to wear for your upcoming job interview, stylist Alison Edmond says it’s important to choose a style that suits your personality “A sandal can say a lot about who you are, so let it communicate what you want to say about yourself immediately, before you even say hello,” she says.
“We’re seeing people looking for two things this summer, which don’t necessarily go hand in hand: comfort and sexy party shoes,” says Laurel Pantin, SVP and fashion director at large of ByGeorge in Austin, Texas. “On the comfort front, we’re seeing a lot of interest in styles like The Row’s Hook & Loop sandals and Jil Sander’s Trek sandals. I think that cushy sole style with thick straps is super appealing after spending so much time not really getting dressed, but they’re also more fun than other casual sandals.”
It’s also important to have those stand out, trendy styles that are great conversation starters. For fun, highly conceptualized works of art, look to brilliant designer Jonathan Anderson at Loewe. “We’re waiting on our delivery of Loewe’s cracked egg sandals, and I’m dying for a pair,” Pantin says. “People are ready to get dressed up again and are totally into heeled sandals. We just brought in Loewe’s rose heel sandals, and they are so perfect for this moment. There’s a bit of a maximalist moment happening again, and its super refreshing.”
Edmond is also a huge fan of the surreal-sandal trend. “I’m loving all the artistic signature graphic heels at Loewe this season.” However, on the other end of the spectrum and popular amongst her celebrity clientele, are slightly more wearable styles, including Gianvito Rossi’s PVC block-heeled sandals, Alexandre Birman’s colorful metallic pairs, and encrusted sandals by Jimmy Choo, Amina Muaddi and Tom Ford for those wanting some extra sparkle. “I’m also loving the padded details this season, which of course can be attributed to Daniel Lee’s prior success at Bottega Veneta, but still very much have a presence.”
When it comes to sexy, fun and stylish summer sandals, Bottega Veneta is also a huge client favorite at ByGeorge. “We have such a varied clientele that few runaway styles hit across the board, but we’re seeing lots of love for Bottega sandals, and we sold out of the Jil Sander Birkenstock collaboration really quickly. On the whole, people come to us for something unusual that they don’t see anywhere else or on anyone else, so a hint of novelty is usually pretty appealing,” Pantin says.
When shopping for the perfect cute summer sandals, Edmond suggests that comfort and style can go hand in hand. “Look for padded straps and cushioned soles, and watch out for straps that are too tight or cut into your skin,” she says. “And for a long night, rub Aspercreme numbing cream on your feet first. If you have an ankle strap, make sure it’s narrow.” Edmond also suggests choosing sandals in a hue that complements you skin tone for even more flattering effects.
Another tip to keep in mind when looking for your next pair of sandals? “Generally, if you’re looking to lengthen your legs, I’d try to find heeled sandals that don’t have an ankle strap. That said, styles that lace a bit up the leg and are otherwise pretty minimalist can also make your legs look longer,” Pantin says.

The Adidas Aqua sandal is a summer sandal staple for everyone. These have a soft Cloudfoam footbed and lightweight EVA outsole that’s durable and shock-absorbing. These are great for the beach, as you can rinse them off in the shower and they’ll dry almost immediately. “As a slides collector, I’m always on the lookout for great new pairs,” Edmond says. “I have narrow feet, so they need to fit well so my toes don’t hang over the front, and can’t be completely flat, as that gives me a back ache. For on the go, I constantly have two or three classic Adidas slides in my arsenal. I love that they have a soft cushioned footbed and won’t get damaged by sea water or sand.”

Pantin particularly loves this style for the beach. “I don’t love taking dressy sandals to the beach,” she says. “I live in LA and have two little kids, so I generally like things I can slide on rather than having to tie, since I usually have a kid in my arms.” When looking for affordable cute sandals that are also comfortable and easy to throw on, these are for you.

Try these in the gorgeous caramel hue or classic black for a more dramatic look. Another bonus is that these are cute summer sandals that hide bunions, if you have them.
Types of summer sandals
High-Heeled Sandals: These range from mules to classic strappy sandals with stilettos, cone heels and stacked-heels. They’ll have thicker or barely-there straps across the foot, depending on the look and level of support you’re going for. These are perfect for the style set looking to turn things up a notch. High heeled sandals are great for city weddings, a night out with girlfriends, or even for a party at home. Look to Saint Laurent’s super sexy LA 16 mules or playful Elsa cone-heeled sandals in a gorgeous pastel green colorway. These are super popular amongst celebs like Hailey Bieber, Dua Lipa and Zendaya, to name a few. This season, look for pairs with cushy insoles to provide a bit more comfort for your feet. “I normally gravitate towards a more delicate strap and a slim heel in a sandal, and stay away from large platforms, as they can make the leg look heavy,” Edmond says. “The shoe should complement the look, not overwhelm it. Plus, it’s so important for a client to be able to walk elegantly on the red carpet, so I make sure that the heel height is manageable.”
Low-Heeled Sandals: These include kitten heels, block heels, Mary Jane versions, PVC styles like those from Gianvito Rossi and crystal-embellished iterations from Miu Miu. These are ideal for shoppers seeking practical height options that can keep them on their feet from dusk to dawn. Pair them with your favorite flared jeans and tee or your favorite tailored pieces for a brunch, date night or office meeting. “Depending on what kind of office you work in, I’d say low heels with a bit of polish, like The Row’s Bare heels with a kitten heel, are a great option” Pantin says, especially if you have high arches and can’t bear a higher heel for long periods of time.
Flat Sandals: These include slip-ons, fisherman sandals like Gucci’s jelly version and thong sandals. They’re often made with materials like linen, satin, raffia, terrycloth, rubber and leather, so you can find a variation to wear for any and every occasion on your calendar. Oscar de la Renta has the perfect satin slides, while Fendi makes the cutest flat sandals in soft terry cloth. Cool-girl brands like Staud and Wandler are also offering their own takes on the trend. Popular among celebs like Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and Zoe Kravitz, these are perfect to wear on a yacht or for running errands in between working from home. Pair these silhouettes with a bikini top and flowy skirt in the warmer months or your favorite trendy low-rise jeans.
For those looking for more security in their shoes, try slides with wider straps across the top of the foot, like Parson’s classic Folded slides which come in a gorgeous espresso, beige and rose colorways this season. “Even though it’s not a new trend, my favorite sandals are still our Folded slides, which have a molded anatomical footbed,” Parsons says. Alison Edmond too recommends a flat style for strolling around on the weekends. “A flat mule is perfect, especially in the heat as your feet swell, so it saves your heels from blisters,” she adds.
Platform Sandals: These include varying platform thicknesses, athletic versions, espadrille iterations and wedge sandals. They come with skinny straps and/or lace-up details with satin, rubber, pops of color and muted pastel hues. This style is going strong thanks to Versace’s Medusa version and the many variations at Bottega Veneta this season. One of the best parts of this trend is its versatility. They can be sporty or sleek, including lug-soled options from Jil Sander and Neous to office-friendly pairs from The Row, Dries Van Noten and Prada. Keeping the Y2K trend very much alive, Dua Lipa wears platforms with such ease both on her world tour and out and about. These are great for those looking for a bit extra comfort in a sandal. “In my opinion, sandals that are super super flat are almost as uncomfortable as heels at the end of the day, especially if you’re standing or walking a lot, so I tend to look for some extra support,” Pantin says. Platforms help absorb with each step, and some versions even come with cushioning and arch support for additional wearability.
Lace-up Sandals: These come in flat, block heeled, stilettoed and wedge variations. “Skinny leather thong straps are very elegant, and everywhere, tying up the ankle, on both heels and flats,” Edmond says. A Emery makes great flat versions at a lower price point for those looking to get in on this trend without breaking the bank. And for those who are thinking of splurging, Valentino’s Rockstud gladiators are one of the chicest styles this season. Gabriella Hearst also perfected platform lace-ups at Chloe this season as well, offering colorful versions that pair perfectly with an all-white linen outfit. Lace-ups are also great for those with narrow or wide feet or small or larger ankles due to the lace up closure that allow you to secure the shoe to your liking.
