While I’ve already taken a look at some of the spring shoe trends that will be big this season, I want to get a bit more granular and take a closer look at what’s coming up. Specifically, sandals trends for 2022. With bare leg weather upon us and vacations penciled into the calendars, sandal season is almost here and there are so many cool trends to know about that are starting to land on the market.
As always, there is quite a variety of styles that ranges from new takes on the classics to super-trendy, directional pieces plucked straight from the runways. There is one thing that’s certain, though, there is no shortage of cool designs to test-drive this season, no matter where you land on the style spectrum. Ahead, see the 7 major sandals trends for 2022 that are about to be everywhere this spring and summer.
While I’m typically not big on flats, I can’t wait to wear the polished styles that are already popping up everywhere for spring. With details like metal buckles or square-toe silhouettes, these are cool, modern takes on a flat sandal.
Wedges are in full force for spring, so it’s a noteworthy shoe to have on your radar. Prada debuted a sculptural take on the trend in their S/S 22 collection, which points to all signs that wedges will be big this season.
Logo pieces were big on the S/S 22 runways and we’re already seeing that play out in shoes this season. Logos are a bit less flashy than in past years, but still noticeable enough to make a statement.
Pumps are hardly a new or noteworthy trend, but styles by brands including Saint Laurent are worth talking about. Not only do their sleek lines feel directional, but they also have some cool details like cap toes, mesh finishes, and metal buckles that push them forward.
Spring is all about bold colors and shoes are no exception. In my opinion, this is one of the easiest ways to pop some color into your wardrobe, no matter how comfortable you are with saturated shades.
Platforms are the shoe that will define spring 2022, no question. We’re especially seeing super tall styles, but there are more approachable heights available if you want to ease your way in.
Lace-up sandals are back with a vengeance, just in time to test-drive some of the cool party-geared fashion that is major for spring. You can also pair them with jeans or trousers to elevate an everyday look.
