Sandals For Summer
The arrival of warmer weather is an invitation to slip on a pair of summer sandals. It’s time to perfect your pedicure and pound the pavement in this season’s styles.
1. Hip to be Square
The square toe is here to stay and with soirees back on the agenda, what better way to burst out than with a high heel in the brightest of blue. Welcome, summer.
2. Gone Geek
An update on the classic fisherman sandal. I like to call it my geek chic, a sandal for all seasons for those who like to stay on the move. Wear a breezy linen dress and on colder days, team with cosy socks.
3. Flip-Flop
Taking inspiration from the Japanese Zori sandal, flip-flops or thongs can now go beyond the backyard. I like to pair them with wide-leg black pants for an effortless smart look.
4. The Gladiator
A ’90s comeback, this version of the Gladiator is more pared-back than its predecessor. Handmade styles in neutrals or bright colours can be laced up the calf or worn low around the ankle.

5. Minimalist Mule
Easy to slip on and still look chic. The one-inch kitten heel elevates your look without feeling like you’re walking in heels.
6. Nostalgia
Espadrilles, hands down, always remind me of summer and the ’70s glamour of vacations past. It’s the perfect wedge to go from casual to dressed-up while remaining timeless in style.
7. Garden Party
Have more fun with this quilted denim Birk-inspired sandal, first seen at Chanel, but now available as a more affordable option at Tony Bianco. Wear with a simple white dress or jeans.
8. Barely There
From statement to closet staple, the Barely There sandal is the fail-safe style you’ll wear every day into evening.
9. The Ultimate Go-To (on home page)
I’ve clocked some serious clicks in my Birkenstocks. Guaranteed comfort and great for when I’m working in the studio, as you can slip them on and off when you need to jump on set. My go-to sandals for grocery shopping, strolling to yoga and beach sitting. Nappa leather lines the footbed and outer edge of this style.
