The right sandal does more than most people expect. The best ones carry you from morning coffee to a late evening walk without a second pair in your bag.
The three styles that cover the season
- Block-heel mule: adds height without sacrificing stability — works with dresses and wide-leg trousers.
- Flat leather strap sandal: the true workhorse, pairs with everything from linen to denim.
- Espadrille wedge: casual enough for parks, polished enough for lunch.
Colour logic that simplifies getting dressed
Tan and nude work with the widest range of outfits. White looks clean against colour. Reserve metallic for evening — it reads as dressed-up whatever you pair it with.
How to wear it across the week
- Flat strap sandal + midi dress + sunglasses for the weekend.
- Block-heel mule + wide-leg trousers + silk top for lunch.
- Espadrille wedge + denim shorts + linen shirt for a day out.
Spring footwear should be easy — the kind you slip on and stop thinking about. Find your one reliable pair and wear it everywhere.
