The Anti-Trend Outfits to Wear With Black Sandals

If you’re interested in uncovering fresh outfit inspiration to wear with your go-to black sandals, you’ve landed in the right spot. Yep, I’m sharing an edit of the chicest ensembles fashion people are wearing with flat and heeled sandals. In terms of the types of ensembles included in the mix, the focus is on those "anti-trend” outfits. Meaning: Looks that feature elevated basics and pieces that aren’t fleeting (not overly trendy) and have longevity. That said, the items included in each look are still forward and modern.
Below you’ll uncover easy outfit ideas to wear with simple black sandals. As a preview, you’ll find everything from a look featuring a pretty midi skirt to one with a chic denim silhouette. If you’re looking to add a fresh item or pair of sandals to your wardrobe, there’s also shopping inspiration for each ensemble.
This is a classic look with the fitted white tee, midi skirt, and heeled black sandals. The belt and black shoulder bag complete the silhouette.
Flip-flops feel unexpected yet cool with this ensemble, which features \ straight-leg jeans, a blouse, and a sleek blazer.
A white slip dress or maxi dress is effortlessly chic with flat sandals. The striped button-down shirt on top brings that modern twist.
Consider this outfit formula for something polished yet laid-back. It involves a white top, coordinating trousers, and a jacket or a blazer
A puff-sleeve dress is a modern classic at this point and works flawlessly with fisherman sandals.
