I don't know about you, but summer shopping is in full swing in my house. I'm scouring the internet every chance I get for the best shorts, hats, dresses, and, naturally, sandals. Sandals, in fact, are the base to pretty much every single outfit of mine from June to September. Barring a few exceptions for cute flats or sneakers, I wear my sandals 24/7, so now that summer is coming into view, I have my sights set on a new pair—or, honestly, several.
I've already narrowed in on a few 2025 sandal trends I'm eager to tap into, including luxe-looking suede sandals, pretty hardware-embellished styles, childhood-inspired jelly sandals, and '90s-minimalist mules. Now, the only thing left to do is shop, and shop I have. The below edit spans everything from The Row to Reformation, so continue on to discover my handpicked list of the best summer sandals to shop now and wear in the months to come.
From the spring 2025 runway to real life—meet summer's ultimate It sandals.
The color! The suede! I can't believe how expensive these look.
I already know several chic women who have these on their wish lists.
These are oddly similar to a much more expensive pair Hailey Bieber wore recently. Just saying.
Good luck finding these if you wait too long—they're selling out scary quick.
Works of art.
Elegant, classic, and timeless.
Get 'em while they're hot!
Tory Burch, if you're listening, please never stop iterating on your Pierced shoes.
At least three Who What Wear staffers already own these, and I might be next.
Minimal but far from boring.
These have major It-shoe potential.
How chic is this two-tone moment?
J.Crew aced it with these.
I wore these constantly last summer and have just put them back in the rotation again.
Suede everything, all the time.
The crochet makes these a touch more special.
Just yes.
Sofia Richie Grainge, Hailey Bieber—the list of celeb fans is growing stronger by the day.
The larger gold buckles make them so elevated.
If you buy any sandal trend this year, make it a pair of classic thongs.
The cost per wear is basically zero on a walkable pair like this.
The shoes come first, and the vacation comes second.
For $30, I might as well buy one in each color.
The silhouette is giving The Row, but the price is giving sales tax on The Row.
What did I say about suede sandals?
They're technically ballet flats, but I just needed you to see them.
Every Christopher Esber sandal style I see is even cooler than the last.
Chic!
These are so Carrie Bradshaw coded.
I love an asymmetric strap.
It's giving Miu Miu spring/summer 2025.
A round of applause for this epic Nordstrom find, please.
Don't sleep on Madewell's selection of sandals right now.
Leaving you with this simple but sophisticated pair.
