17 super chic sandals to shop now

Each year I make the same mistake.

I dither and delay over my which pair of sandals should be my annual investment piece; the pair to elevate all my summer dresses and jeans-and-a-t-shirt combos. A pair that’s everyday appropriate but happy-making enough for my hols.

Whichever you choose (or perhaps you need one of each? I’m sure I do), look for raffia accents, shades of silver and interesting olive greens and browns as a chic alternative to black.
