Spring has sprung, and summer is close behind it. While La Niña is threatening to ruin yet another season of sunshine, we simply refuse to let the wet weather spoil the return of sandals for us.
Spring and summer are synonymous with sandals, letting your feet breathe and showing off your pedicure has never felt better. But which style to choose for 2022?
The chunky sandal’s strangehold over the style and celebrity set remains, now in Y2K-esque iterations of flatforms, thongs and slides, while strappy numbers offer a more minimalistic approach to summer dressing.
