Now that summer is floating onto the horizon, our minds (and shopping carts) have been filled with all things warm-weather dressing. In a few short weeks, it will finally be the time to break out all the chic linen pieces, new swimwear, and raffia accessories we’ve been eyeing all spring, but arguably nothing marks the true arrival of summer more than the switch from closed-toed shoes to sandals does. As far as we’re concerned, the summer solstice is merely a formality, and the time has nearly come to show off our new sandals (ahem, this is your cue to book those pedicure appointments now).
With any new season comes a fresh selection of new-in styles, and for summer 2024, the designer sandals on offer are really delivering. I spent the afternoon scrolling through the new arrivals sections at some of my favorite luxury retailers like Net-a-Porter, Moda Operandi, and FWRD and thirty-plus tabs later, I’ve collected a number of pairs that are oozing with It-shoe potential. From Miu Miu to Chanel, discover and shop the designer sandals I’m predicting will go viral this summer.
Khaite
Jones Leather Sandals
Khaite does it again. The new Jones sandals are a minimalist’s dream with their caged, asymmetric straps that are already winning over fashion editors.
Amanu
Samburu 24k Gold-Plated Leather Sandals
No more accessories needed when you’re wearing these stunning sandals.
Proenza Schouler
Tee Toe Ring Leather Sandals
We haven’t stopped thinking about Proenza’s toe-ring sandals since they made their debut on the spring/summer 2024 runway last September.
Christopher Esber
Harlowe Textured Leather Heeled Mules
These are what we’d call the good kind of weird.
The Row
City Leather Flip-Flop Sandals
Classic flip-flops, elevated. The Row’s leather City sandals are the definition of a quiet-luxury staple.
Jimmy Choo
Lev Leather Slingback Sandals
Sleek, sophisticated, and utterly wearable. What’s not to love?
Jacquemus
Les Doubles Sandals
Social media had a field day over these trompe l’oeil Jacquemus heels, and frankly, so did we.
Bottega Veneta
Jack Striped Raffia Sandals
Just when I thought I was tiring of velcro sandals, these pulled me right back in.
Larroudé
Magnolia Slide Sandal
These are already taking over my feed and summer hasn’t even started yet, if that’s any indication.
