If the warm weather has you looking down at your toes and pondering booking a last-minute pedicure, there’s another, simpler choice: Tossing your chicest heels and breezy sandals back into your closet and opting for a pair of summer sandals instead. Whether you’re still in the throes of the tenniscore trend, prefer a classic white silhouette, or opt for comfort over everything else, don’t let anyone tell you that sneakers can’t work for all occasions. With the exception of poolside flip-flops or a black-tie stiletto, a solid, stylish sneaker can work with a shocking amount of options. And in that respect, we’ve got you covered.
Style them with your favorite striped summer dress or with bermuda shorts and a beach hat. The beauty of sneaker culture is that there are so many to choose from, and while everyone has them, we all wear them differently. Collectible sneakers aside, we’ve gathered the best, most shoppable sneakers to carry you through the summer; see them all below.
