Sandal up: 5 strappy sandals for summer

Chic simplicity

If you’re looking for an everyday, easy-wearing pair of sandals, you’re going to want to snap up these simple, strappy leather beauties (jcrew.com, $98). They come in gold, beige and minty green/blue and we’re inclined to want all three – they’re that cute. We’ll be pairing these with faded denim, flowery sundresses and boho-chic maxi skirts.

Embracing embellishments

Add interest to any summer outfit in a pair of these stylish sandals embellished with a bit of bling (victoriassecret.com, $69). The price is right and they come in white, black and brown depending on what you’ll be wearing them with most. These are the sandals that will get you from the pool to the BBQ and back again in comfort and style.

Oh-so-coral

We’ll be wearing these get-noticed shiny, strappy sandals with a low heel to the next semi-formal summer event we attend (zara.com, $50). Perfect for casual summer weddings or cocktail parties, we love the ankle strap and splash of coral across the toe.

Casual comfort

Summer footwear shouldn’t hurt your feet. Sure we all squeeze into sky high heels and shoes that favor fashion over function, but finding style/comfort balance is possible. We love this pair of ABEO B.I.O.system Sunrise sandals with neutral support. The cute shoes easily blend casual style, comfort and a customized fit (thewalkingcompany.com, $95).

Strappy wedge

Pastels are a summer staple so we were immediately drawn to this pair of strappy pastel T-strap wedge sandals (urbanoutfitters.com, $59). Soft blue, lavender and yellow come together to form a stylishly summery sandal. An adjustable ankle strap adds to the comfort and the on-trend mix of hues makes these a hot weather wardrobe must.
