And don’t forget the high heels! Caps and wedges have a lasting appeal, and our editor features many favorites you wear over and over.

Human triggers may lack support from the ankle and they can make up for the style points. Slim versions like A.Emery and Row are trending the most now, but Flatform still has a huge appeal. For the beach option, it won’t be better than a pair of Havaianas – its new square shape if you already have the original shape.
T-trap sandals
Don’t call it a thong or a trigger! T-strap should get its place in the sun. Some of the best ankle straps with more walking support (see: Tory Burch, Prada, Aquazurra). Others, such as Gucci’s, deliver with thicker belts.
Strap sandals
The only bindings for these strap sandals are to be purchased. For more bohemian style, choose A.Emery’s tan suede style, which also features bright leathers such as red and burgundy. If you’re looking for something with a more urban feel, the style of Tibi and Aeyde is chic and suitable for every day.
Slideshow
Criss-Cross, Macramé, Cut Belts – There is no shortage of slides on the market right now, whether you want something to work or the texture of your vacation.
Elegant tomatoes
Ah, Ethiopia! In summer, few shoes are typical of summer. For strap wedges, Castañer is a go-to-go – they come in a variety of heights and colors. If you prefer the patio situation, Tory Burch and Gucci place their own rotation on the outline with minimalist belts and embroidered details, respectively. For flat options, Prada looks for nothing, and can find the perfect beach sandals, or a mango that can unexpectedly be on the mesh.
double click
Not every sandal is a sandal you can walk for miles (comfortably), but double-clicking is an exception to that rule. Birkenstocks need no introduction – if you already have suede Arizona, consider its big buckle sister; the Milanese also has an ankle strap with extra support. More stylish avant-garde can be found in Chloé, ATP Atelier and Loewe. Jamie Haller’s couple has several leathers, from Browns to this Python print, is an emerging label.
Fisherman’s sandals are not really loose shoes or traditional backless shoes, but a versatile option that is perfect for transitional dressings. Between spring and summer (or summer and autumn), pair it with colorful socks. The cotton poplin dress, while the chunky flavor of Emme Parsons is absolutely modern, while the leather version of Emme Parsons is even more graceful and feels like another era (in the best way).
Thick sandals
Combine comfort with style, wear sandals for dinner dates, polish office look and wedding guest outfits. Bottega’s stitching foot to toe to to to to to to the foot is simple and elegant, as is Aeyde’s straps. Andrea Gomez’s braided thong is my personal favorite that I often wear.
The wedge sandals are back, baby! Embrace the look with the minimalist style of Staud or St. Agni. Already a devotee? The Reformation and the sculptures of Ferraragamo are ready.
