Summer Sandal Trends 2019

It's officially bare foot, I mean sandal season here in sunny Southern California. Summer is arguably everyone's favorite season: long days, vacation, sunshine, fireworks, beaches, floats, berries, barbecues, what's not to love?

Summer shoes are no exception. I love all the things! Move over booties, our toes are ready to see some sun! Let's check out the latest shoe trends for summer.

But first, let me let you in on a little secret: summer shoes trends really don't change. Still, it wouldn't be any fun to ignore the latest trends in color, textiles, and embellishments. So I've put together a mix of both of haute must-haves and timeless classics, keeping in mind made to last brands. Click on any picture to shop my affiliate links.

Flip Flops

Talk about timeless, nothing says summer like a pair of Rainbow flip flops. Grab these in classic tan (yellow) bamboo, lavender or pink. If you haven't tried this famous footwear founded in Laguna Beach, take this California girl's advice and try some!

 

T-Strap

On to flip flop's fashionable friend, the t-strap. When you must have something between your toes, reach for the brand know for high quality craftsmanship, Havaianas. 

Slides

Perhaps your toes prefer more freedom, enter slides.

I'm going to ignore those throwback slides you're seeing everywhere because honestly, I can't wait to see them leave. If you don't know what I'm talking about it rhymes with Lirkenstocks and the 90s can keep them.

 

 

Speaking of throwbacks, I should warn you, Crocs and Teva are returning. I'm speechless. Moving on.

Strappy Sandals

Are your feet not so sure they are ready for summer? Get a little more coverage (and flair) with these festival ready flats. These are more or less gladiator sandals, timeless!

Huarache

Festival season might be over, but peep toe woven huarache season is not. I vote for white, probably the hottest shoe color this summer. Aren't these perfect to go with your button down linen dresses and jumpers?

D'orsay

You'll also need something sophisticated to pair with your new favorite paper bag styles.

  

Espadrilles

Soludos really knows how to espadrille. How cute is this stripe?! 

Platforms 

SO excited for this trend because 1. Height and 2. Comfort. This version is like espadrilles more serious older sister.

Big straps are haute and I'm pretty okay with that.

Stacked Heels

Admittedly this post has been a little monotone til now, but purposefully. That's the trend! But I was also saving the most fun for last.

This really is the perfect category for branching out and trying trends. Check out the chunk on this heel! And the color, swoon!

I can't ignore pink either (bossy pink as Pantone calls it), or the cutouts on this pair. If you need something a little fancier to wear with your LBD, please wear these so I can live vicariously through you.

Finally, some pom poms, because why not. Seize the long summer days!
