Whether sharing our latest buys, runway images, or Insta looks that caught our eye recently in our Slack channels, it's quite clear when a Who What Wear fashion editor is beelining toward a particular trend. Beyond that, we can clearly see when others in the fashion-editor space are championing certain pieces as well through social media. This season, we all seem to have our eyes set on upping our sandal game, as evidenced by the endless buzz around a select set of sandal trends.
Whether it's fun jelly sandals, heeled flip-flops, or a sleek slingback style, you better believe we will be showing off our latest scores the minute we get our hands on them. Ahead, shop five sandal trends that fashion editors are scrambling to get their hands on this season. Plus, check out some visual outfit inspiration for chic ways to wear each style. I recommend you don't hesitate in scooping up your favorites since many of these sandals are selling out fast.
