Bare feet and pedicure bills; it must be summer (unless you’re a dab hand at doing it yourself!). I’m a natural or nude varnish kind of girl, discreet, effortless, and conveniently unnoticeable. Basically, anything to keep other peoples’ eyes off my feet. But even I can’t resist seeing a bold pop of colour on my toes, the kind that practically yells ‘look down!’. And with this season’s lineup of standout sandals, why shouldn’t they?
There was a time when a European beach holiday meant coming home with sandal treasures no one else had, those strappy little finds from the Greek islands or a hidden boutique tucked down the winding streets of Sardinia. I remember a girls’ getaway there with my mum and sister in the late 80s, the streets buzzing with Versace and Moschino-clad beauties, all under the magnetic spell of Vogue Italia. But that’s a whole other story – let’s get back to sandals.
These days, that same effortless, sun-drenched style is closer to home than ever.
This summer is all about barely-there silhouettes, modern details, and easy versatility that takes you from beach to rooftop without skipping a beat. I’ve rounded up my top six sandal brands that deliver serious style mileage, perfect for golden-hour strolls, rooftop soirées, or simply showing off that pedicure.
