We’ve officially reached peak sandal season, and some styles are so stunning they need to be on your radar right now. These include fresh takes on the classic flip-flop and silhouettes that haven’t been trendy for years. So, what are the top sandal trends for spring and summer?
Wedges are one shoe seeing a big comeback (everyone is talking about them), making them a standout silhouette for spring. Brands like Bottega Veneta and Khaite have a robust collection of directional styles.
Other hot styles range from minimal and strappy to sleek leather takes on the flip-flop. This season’s color is red, and I already know red will be a smart investment since it’s also one of the color trends seen in F/W 23 collections. Ahead are the five biggest sandal trends for 2023 to add to your cart.
The wedge renaissance has officially arrived. Though this silhouette remains controversial, it sits at the top of the list of shoes I must buy for this season.
Flip-flops are another shoe that has made a resurgence over the last several years. There are new versions on the market each season. For spring, we saw sleek-leather styles like those spotted on The Row’s runway, which feel like an elevated take on traditionally casual shoes.
We can’t stop talking about all things fiery red—a shade that is already defining 2023. If you aren’t ready to commit to a head-to-toe look in the color, consider adding a pair of red sandals to bring some punchy color to your outfit.
From belts to bags, heavy hardware is the design detail the fashion set is reaching for this season—and that extends to footwear. While we saw shoes with this design detail on the runway for Khaite S/S 23, several brands have directional pieces with metal buckles or heavy chain straps, which you can add to your closet.
The minimalist trend continues strong into 2023, with new takes on super-strappy heels that have been popular for the last few seasons. Whether finished with architecturally-inspired heels as was seen at Ferragamo or with delicate toe-strap details, these styles range from statement-making to sleek and subtle.
