You may recognize Janet Gunn and Melissa Meyers as the duo who frequents Who What Wear to lend their style expertise. You might also be familiar with Susan Feldman as a regular voice on the site. While they each typically focus on sharing their own distinct perspectives, the Los Angeles–based trio has teamed up today for what we can only describe as one epic collaboration. The topic of conversation? The sandals that are already getting the most airtime in their closets this summer.
All three women are excited to embrace elevated dressing again and have their eyes on several key sandal trends to complete all their warm-weather ensembles. The seven themes below touch on the season's freshest silhouettes, but true to form, each has styled them in a timeless, elevated way. Now that we're nearly at the halfway point of the summer, these are the key sandals that are resonating the most for Gunn, Meyers, and Feldman.
To find out the shoe trends in question and to see how each woman styles their favorites, just keep scrolling.
Square-Toe Sandals

On Gunn: Open Edit sandals; Ganni dress
"This vegan-leather sandal that goes with almost everything. It's is super cush and super affordable with a toe ring that's comfortable, and I love the squared-off toe with a modern makeover."
Birkenstocks
On Susan Feldman: Birkenstock sandals

Heeled Thongs
On Melissa Meyers: Everlane top; Current Air skirt; Who What Wear sandals

Simple Flat Slides
On Feldman: Who What Wear sandals
"To me, this is the sandal of the summer. The slide silhouette is chic, fun, and sexy. Plus, you can dress it up or down easily with any outfit. I love this black suede one from Who What Wear. BTW, it also comes in blue and ivory! They are the epitome of understated elegance. It's also great to travel with because you can wear it out to dinner or to the beach."
On Meyers: St. Roche top; Agolde shorts; Dolce Vita sandals; Zara hat; Montague sunglasses

Kitten Heels
