Building out a core assortment of high quality sandals is an investment – one that allows you to have reliable choices year after year. Warm weather is coming and the style and designs of a luxurious sandal give you an effortless chic touch to your summer outfit. It’s the anchoring piece to playful resort wear, printed summer dresses, casual denim shorts…all your staple summer outfits for al fresco activities.
Here are some favorites of designer sandals for the summer that won’t go out of style.
Hermes Oran Sandals
The Oran is a timeless sandal made of high quality calfskin. The iconic silhouette with the Hermes “H” cut out is easily recognizable. Though there have since been many knock-off iterations, Hermes quality makes this worth the splurge. The Oran sandals are a cult favorite and are a go-to for any summer outfit. The leather gets better with age but be aware sizing can run a tad small.

Dior Dway Slide
Since Dior introduced the Book Tote, the embroidered logo has become a standout branding moment. The signature Christian Dior logo and embroidered design comes in multiple colors. Unlike many embroidered or canvas sandals, the Dway slide is lined with leather not only on the insole but also on the strap making it comfortable yet stylish.

Saint Laurent Tribute Sandal
The intertwined straps of the Saint Laurent Tribute sandal is what makes the style recognizable. With this one, there is no overt branding or logo which makes it a perfect option for something more subtle. The leather can be a bit stiff to start but wears in nicely.

The Row Canal Velvet Sandals
The Row is known for its sleek and sophisticated aesthetic. The Canal sandals are no exception. The slides have an almost hotel slipper look but feature plush velvet with cushioned soles. It’s laid back yet luxurious – the mastery of The Row.

Fendi FF Logo Plaque Sandals
Fendi’s double F logo is highly recognizable but the tonal hardware is a great way to play on the branding without a screaming logo. The slip on style and open plaque hardware make it an easy style to pair back to everything from denim to dresses.
