Best Sandals 2021 – Sandal Roundup Guide | Goop

It’s this time of year, when a cool breeze is a hot commodity, that the concept of “less is more” takes on a different meaning: less material, more skin. And when it comes to sandals, all that strappy, flip-flop-y, sexy goodness leaves a lot of opportunity for that cool breeze to do its thing.

1. THE SLIP

   Humble slip-on sandals just got a major upgrade. Whether metallic and strappy, white and textured, or delightfully minimal, they’re always the right fit.

1. Take a Bow

   Maybe the most iconic shoes of the season, espadrilles are equal parts sexy, feminine, and practical. And the graduated wedge means they elevate without skimping on walkability.

1. Riviera-Ready

   A streamlined choice for bringing the same amount of chic and easy to a weekend in the city as they bring to a stroll through a Parisian flea market or the beaches of Cabo.

1. That’s a Wrap

   They’re polished and
   statement-making with denim, grounding with a tailored suit, and playful when peeking out from under the handkerchief hem of a summer dress. And the ankle wraps aren’t just for looks: They increase the comfort factor exponentially.

1. Buckle Up

   The edgiest of the bunch, these tough, just-chunky-enough sandals make an unexpected counterpoint to lighter fare—like a wispy hemline or the kind of wide-leg culottes that can pair with a barely there top to approximate a sundress.
