Best Shoes to Wear in Summer Witout Socks

.

As the sun is beginning to come out, temperatures are starting to rise and we're slowly returning back to a (semi) normal life, it's the perfect time to invest in some new summer sandals. Although we're still unsure as to whether we'll be allowed jet off abroad this summer for a holiday, a new pair of summer sandals are never not worth buying. Besides, what else will we wear to this years park picnics, trips to the lido and upcoming staycations? Also, how else will you show off that post-lockdown pedicure?

Sandals are said to be the eldest and most commonly found shoe form world wide. Throughout history they were often thought to be the simplest form of shoe and therefore have been found in almost every culture worldwide. Fast forward to 2021 and SS21 collections are showing us that sandals are still in, but now acoming in pretty much all shapes and sizes. From platform wedges at Altuzarra, to slingback flats at Chanel, to gladiatorial straps at Ports 1961. There is a style out there to cater to everyone's needs.

So whether your idea of the best sandals is investing in classic Birkenstocks, everyone's new favourite gold chain embellished JW Anderson's, or picking up an affordable stylish option from the high street, in this round up we've got you covered. We've selected the cream of the crop and encourage you to indulge yourself, as we all wait patiently for summer to arrive!
