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.
