The summer sandals you can wear into fall

Now is the best time to stock up on summer sandals – not only because so many have gotten marked down – but because there are so many great styles you can take into fall. My favorite designers really stepped it up this season and gave those classic summer sandals a massive update. Luckily, so many high-street brands put their own spin on these styles too, making them more affordable for the rest of us. If you’re wondering what my summer-to-fall picks are – and how you can style them later, keep reading!

The Mule

If you thought mules were just a fad of the moment when they began trending years ago, think again. This shoe style looks ultra chic with straight-leg denim and a cardigan – or your most extravagant dress. You can take this shoe into fall by opting for rich brown or black colors. You’ll be able to get away with it until temperatures drop drastically.

The Wrap Heel

Lace-up heels that wrap up around the ankle are perhaps my favorite summer sandals. They’re sleek, feminine, and make an outfit feel that much more interesting. If you didn’t think you could transition these gems into fall, try lacing them up and around your favorite trousers – styled with an oversized button-down top!

The Sporty Sandal

This new ugly shoe trend is showing no signs of slowing down – and I’m not complaining about it because they’re super comfortable, practical, and add some edge to everything. I love how the sporty sandal trend dresses down long shorts, high-waisted trousers, and casual jumpsuits. Go for a leather pair if you’re concerned about printed cotton straps not holding up too well in fall’s brisk temps.

Flat Slides

Thanks to a socially-distanced summer, flat slide sandals have become a highlight piece of the season. It’s such a great shoe option for any commute given it’s stylish, simple nature. You can continue to wear your summer sandals indoors as you WFH – or add socks come fall. With the socks and sandals formula though, I’d encourage you going for a more structured sandal style that doesn’t feel too delicate.Thong Sandals

Thong sandals have become a huge seasonal hit among celebs, influencers, and street style stars. Keep this shoe style from feeling too summery by opting for a heeled version. Experiment with chunkier heels and wider straps for a heavier duty look that will take you right into early fall. Style them with denim now but floor sweeping trousers later.
