‘Tis the season for bare shoulders, shorts, and sassy
sandals! Here are 3 basic sandals
that will get you through the summer, and take you from the beach, to brunch
and even the bar.
Beach: Thongs
No, not the kind in your
boudoir
I have been know to parade around everywhere in 5-inchers
(yes, even at the supermarket!) but sometimes you just need something
practical. Beach sandals should be durable, but always cute! An alternative to the boring old flip-flop? The ‘Fit’
by Havaianas is an adorable rubber slingback thong and comes in a rainbow of
colors. At just $28, get a pair to
match each of your bikinis.
Brunch: Gladiators
Sparta never looked
this good
Yep, they’re still around and better than ever. Gladiator
sandals are gracing the displays of every shoe shop and department store window. This summer there is nothing more chic
for your feet. Splurge on a pair in a neutral tone— you’ll keep reaching for
them time and time again. Try BCBG’s ‘Irmah’ sandal, $111 at bluefly.com.
Bar: Wedges
A step up on the
competition
Tall and chunky meet to make the perfect, sexy summer shoe.
From jeans and leggings, to sundresses and shorts, a wedge complements any look
and makes your legs worthy of a
double take. Bebe makes some of the fiercest shoes, and their summery
espadrille-style denim wedge is no exception. Pick your poision–‘Steffi’ is
available in black, white or traditional blue denim, $114.95 from zappos.com.
