Trend comebacks are all the rage in footwear this season. This summer, update your usual flip-flops to a more dramatic shoe. These 5 sandals are guaranteed to bring any outfit to the next level. 

1. Updated Birkenstock

Love ‘em or hate ‘em they’re here to stay. However, this summer, take your usual Birkenstock and oversized t-shirt look up a notch with these metallic platform sandals. They’re perfect for everyday wear but the height and eye-catching color gives your outfit a fresh look.

2. Platform Sandals

Platform shoes have made a comeback since their rage in the nineties. This sandal by Steve Madden gives a casual dress or denim skirt a chic vibe and adds miles to your legs. They’re the perfect shoe to wear when you want to look like you put effort into your outfit but don’t have the energy to.

3. Mules

Mules are the summer’s hottest go-to shoes. This Sam Edelman pair comes in a variety of colors to match any outfit. They’re the perfect shoe for summer weddings, graduations and any other event that calls for a dressy look.

4. Slides

A step up from your usual black and white Adidas slides, these shoes are perfect for lounging by the pool and automatically give you a trendy look.

5. Ankle Strap Sandals 

Every girl needs a classic pair of leather sandals to throw on with jean shorts and a t-shirt. These shoes will always be in style and are a summer essential that you’ll be guaranteed to get your use out of.
