Do You Need Another Pair of Strappy Sandals? Maybe Not. Will You Buy Them Anyway? Of Course.

Strappy sandals have become a kind of seasonal ritual. The moment the sun sticks around for more than a day, out they come. You tell yourself you’ve already got a pair (or three) somewhere. And yet, a new version always seems to slip through the net.

This year’s offerings cover all angles. There’s the classic, delicate kind that looks like they stepped straight out of a ’90s magazine shoot. Then there are the chunkier gladiator types, designed more for stomping through festival fields than sipping wine on a patio. You’ve got sculptural ones with toe shapes so sharp they could do paperwork, and wraparound ones that look like they’ve been tied on by a stylist moments before the runway.

Whether you wear them with slip dresses, slouchy tailoring, or just your usual jeans, they have a way of pulling the whole look together!
