I’m Already Thinking About Sandals—These Are the New Trends I Like
Posted onAuthorComments Off on I’m Already Thinking About Sandals—These Are the New Trends I Like
There are far more important things I’m hoping for this year, but many of them feel far-reaching and beyond reality. So as silly as it may sound, tapping to a new sandal trend for spring/summer 2021 at least feels achievable, and even more exciting than it has done in years past. I’ve never been one to turn down a new pair of sandals—they are the thing I look forward to wearing most when the weather turns—and this season won’t be any different as the wide and enticing variety on offer is enough to tempt even the most hardened sneaker-wearer. Even if my fancy flip-flops, box-fresh Birkenstocks or retro kittens heels only get as far as around the block for my neighbours to enjoy, that will be good enough for me. Hotter climes and exotic adventures may have to wait, but these sandals will be ready for them.
Yes, I need a pedicure. Yes, I will probably do a terrible job of it at home. Yes, I will then try hard to ignore my toenails and still wear my sandals at the first glimpse of spring. And yes, I’m going to find it hard to choose which style to invest in first, as the below list of sandals trends for 2021 is rather extensive. Some designs are carrying on from last summer’s biggest success stories while others feel like totally new propositions. What you will notice is that there are essentially two disparate sandal camps: One the one hand (foot?) you have super-sparkle and all-out glam, while on the other you have practicality and all-terrain suitability. There’s no need to choose a side, you can be both sensible and OTT throughout any given week.
Keep scrolling for the six top sandal trends I think will take off in 2021, and shop the best options available already.
Fisherman’s sandals are first on the list here because they’re first on my personal shopping list. As someone who has spent a lot of time in Teva’s I have become a super-fan of comfy, flat sandals that keep my feet firmly in place. These do all of that and feel extra luxe because of the woven leather detailing. Some longstanding brands like Church’s or Margaret Howell are well-known for producing this style but you’ll even find them filtering into Zara.
Were you once a die-hard heels fan and have had to now curb the habit because of Lockdown Pt. 1,008,673? Same. So that’s why I’ll be turning to mini kitten heel mules to get the same buzz but with some added ease.
I was never fan of the really flimsy foam flip flops for use outside of some beach time, but there’s something about these more substantial styles that has piqued my interest. The look started with The Row’s Ginza flats, but there are more affordable options starting to come through at the likes of Office. Where I’d secretly buy them? Fitflop!
The ’90s strappy look started two summers ago and has morphed ever so slightly to include chunky wedges and thicker heels as well as stilettos. This is a great option to buy vintage—Etsy is chock-full of ’90s styles right now.
The official shoe of this Covid era is the Birkenstock. Whether shearling lined, in suede clog form or just the plain ol’ basic two buckle-strap Arizona, they are comfortable, democratic and surprisingly versatile, looking cool with anything from loungewear through to a more elevated work or (whisper it!) party outfit.
We’re at the point now where putting on some sparkly shoes or an outrageous flouncy dress is actually the tonic required to get through a long day, so it’s no wonder that there’s an influx of glamorous and twinkly sandals arriving for 2021. Mach & Mach and Amina Muaddi lead the designer pack on this look.
