Suddenly, summer has arrived and I’ve found that my footwear collection is nowhere near up to scratch. Having stretched my favourite old sandals as far as they will take me, I’m now in the market for a new pair (or two) to see me through the hottest months both this year and for years to come.
Whenever I’m considering sandals, I have to admit I always go to the high street first. I’ve spent enough time as a fashion editor to know that the breadth of options means that I’m incredibly likely to find exactly the style I’m after, without spending a fortune.
On this occasion, I took to high-street hero Zara to scan their new-in section. As predicted, I stumbled across several major sandal trends including sleek strappy pairs, and cool chunky styles. The brand has thousands of shoes styles available right now, but not everything could pass for designer. So with that in mind, I’ve narrowed things down to 5 of my favourite sandal trends that Zara is nailing right now. Read on to find out all of my favourites.
