15 Summer Boots Because July Can't Come Any Faster
If there’s one good thing about this year (and trust me, I know it’s hard to be optimistic about 2020!) it has to be how damn chic the 2020 sandal trends are. It’s a small thing, I know, but hey! Let’s make the best of what we’ve got. There are tons of cute sandals on the market right now, from high-heeled lace-up numbers that wrap around the ankle to super laid-back flat styles—and even the return of the thong. Yup, flip flops are now considered fashion! Get with the times, my friend. There’s a lot to love this season, but to make things easier, I’ve broken down the top five trends below. You can totally justify five new sandals this season! First, you’ll need a chunky flat platform (*flatform), ideally one that falls somewhere between boho and sporty thanks to a combo of rubber soles and espadrille weaving. Next, a feminine bow style for when you feel like looking extra cute. Third is summer’s sexiest trend, the strappy, wrapped-up heel, and fourth is a much more minimalist take, the double strap flat sandal. Last but not least, as I mentioned earlier, flip flops are back. But they look a lot more chic than they did back in the day, so this is definitely not a trend to sleep on. With that, read on for a little fresh-off-the-runway inspo, and try to resist shopping the trends for yourself. I doubt you’ll succeed, and if you do, IDK. Maybe you’re more of a boot person. We all have a favorite shoe season, so I get it!Good news for all my shorties out there: Platform sandals will rule 2020. This trend is the perfect mixture of early aughts maximalism with ’70s glam. Pair them with cropped denim or your favorite sundress for a look that can’t be beat this spring and summer. Bonus points if you manage to incorporate summery espadrille weaving and durable rubber soles. Boring black sandals are simply not an option this summer—not when styles like these Vince Camuto Maritten Espadrille Sandals exist. I love how the black leather and white rubber contrast the espadrille wedge and chevron detailing. The Steve Madden Elba Wedge Sandals are the perfect compliment to everything from floaty floral dresses to laid-back shorts-and-t-shirt looks. Plus, white really makes a tan pop—but if you prefer another hue, these come in blue, yellow, and black-and-white stripes, too.I like big bows and I cannot lie. In 2020, bow-adorned sandals are here to add a feminine flair to any ensemble. Pair some bow sandals with an asymmetrical or masculine pieces for a contrast that’s sure to have you standing out all season long.I find myself wearing flat sandals an awful lot more than heels this summer, so the Gemma Bow Slide Sandals are right up my alley. Oh, and they’re on sale in three colors, which doesn’t hurt, either.For a chunky, sporty take on the feminine bow trend, lean into these Loeffler Randall Maisie Sport Sandals in this pastel tie-dye color way. TBH, this is everything I never knew I needed in a summer sandal. Catch me styling these on the ‘Gram ASAP. This trend is perfect for creating the ultimate vacation vibes, no matter where you roam. Stringy, lacy sandals that wrap around the foot or ankle are a Go this season, and the look is even better when done in bold colors, playful pastels or glitzy metallics. Go bold with this one, folks!
