Look, I know there are a lot of sandal styles to be excited about right now. There’s the chunky (a continuation from last year’s iteration), the velcro or “dad” and, the most 2020 of them all, the heeled flip flop. But there’s another contender for coolest sandal style of the year—the rope. Consider these the exact sort of style of shoe you’d wear if you spent May to September on Ibiza.
They’re slightly boho but with a cool edge. I remember first spying this style of footwear from Isabel Marant—the queen of bohemian-meets-rock-n-roll—and I still love them. Of course, Marant still has versions in her latest spring/summer 2020 collection but there are other designers who have mastered this sandal too. For example, Valentino has a black and white version that I can’t seem to escape on Instagram (influencer Emili Sindlev looks incredible in them).
If luxury brands aren’t within your budget right now, there are some gorgeous versions from Normadic State of Mind, Arket, Mango and Zara too. Ready to check them out? Keep scrolling…
