I Think Everyone Should Own These 3 Sandal Styles, and They're All at Nordstrom

A solid summer wardrobe wouldn't be the same without a few great sandal styles. Do you agree? Thought so. On that note, you probably already have a few go-to pairs. Well, if you're looking to refresh your offering or add something new, I'm sharing the sandal styles I think everyone should own.
There are actually three sandals I think could be worth trying because they're highly versatile and could be worn for multiple occasions. I'm all about that cost-per-wear life. Below, you'll uncover these picks along with visual inspiration. I should also mention that all of the styles I love happen to be available at Nordstrom in many different varieties.
Keep scrolling to check out the sandals to own and shopping recommendations from Nordstrom.
Strappy Sandals
You can't deny the chicness of a great pair of strappy sandals. The beauty of that perfect pair is that you can actually wear them with everything from dresses to jeans to shorts to skirts.
Slide Sandals
Whether it's a great pair of Birkenstocks or another type of slides, this silhouette is about as comfy and cool as it gets.
Simple Black Sandals
A simple pair of black sandals are super versatile and can be dressed up or down (whether that's a heeled silhouette or a flat style).
