Tan Sandals Are A Summer Wardrobe Classic For A Reason
Not a fan of fisherman sandals? We knew they might be a trend worthy of debate, so thought we’d look to something a touch more timeless. Tan sandals are the go-with-anything footwear cohort. Never a trend, so much as a reliable fashion accessory. Basically, if in doubt, reach for these trusty, yet stylish wardrobe must-haves.
Ok, so maybe not one for the maximalists, but these pared-back flats will speak to those embracing quiet luxury. Picture a waistcoat worn with crisp cream trousers and a peep of tan sandals; the combo makes for impeccable styling. Understated, elegant and often the unsung hero of our shoe collection, the neutral sandal works with everything from sharp tailoring to boho dresses.
Designers resolutely include tan leather sandals alongside the biggest trending heels in their collections. For good reason. People always love a classic. From the Saint Laurent Tribute brown leather sliders to Loewe Ease thong sandals, there’s no shortage of luxury summer shoes in those buttery shades of toffee. Also resonating with the timeless appeal of simple, yet smart footwear is Australian brand, A.Emery. Designed in Melbourne and handcrafted in the Delhi region of India, their design ethos ensures that all their styles carry through from this season to the next. Refined and minimal, their sandals are ones to treasure.
Fashion stylist, Karen Blanchard, knows how to give her tan sandals a modern twist. Pairing with bold colours allows for a dynamic, seriously cool, of-the-moment look. We like. A lot.
If, however, you are more boho than modern minimalist, then throw on the floaty white dress and slip into a pair of gladiators. With a real revival of bohemian-inspired fashion, soft leather brown sandals with wraparound ankle straps have also been seriously sought after. Our top tip, head to Free People. Like, now.
Whichever look you embrace, know that with tan sandals you’re ready for anything. Plus, this isn’t a fleeting fashion fad. Oh no, these are lifers.
