Summer is here and with it the current shoe trend: sandals will also be a must-have on hot days in 2024. We present three popular models – including styling tips.
If there is a practical fashion must-have in summer, it is certainly sandals: you can slip into the airy shoes quickly and easily – and they often also make for a fashionable eye-catcher. But what sandal trends will there be in 2024? We present three trendy models and have styling tips ready.
1. Sandals trend 2024: Chunkys
Boring toe separators and flip-flops are no longer popular this year. Instead, like sneakers or (ankle) boots these days, things can be “chunky”. This means that toe separators are no longer just plain colors or come with narrow straps and particularly flat soles. Instead, they can be a little chunkier: with coarser, wider straps, thicker soles and contrasts or prints. This makes the otherwise rather reserved kicks an eye-catcher. You can combine the chunky sandals (or “dad” or “ugly” sandals) with jeans and a shirt as well as a straw or raffia bag for a cool summer look. But the shoes also go perfectly with jumpsuits or simple dresses.
2. Sandals trend 2024: Velcro fastener
While delicate sandals with laces or ties were the most popular in previous years, this summer things are more practical: Velcro models are the fashionable choice. Like the chunky version, they are a little cooler and chunkier, but fit perfectly into this year’s fashion trends. And they’re super practical too. They go well with either a casual outfit of mom jeans and a T-shirt or top or with a casual summer dress. The casual sandals can also be easily combined with a combination of shorts and a shirt or with a one-piece suit.
3. Sandals trend 2024: Cozy and practical
In keeping with the fashion trends, the sandal trends are above all one thing: comfortable. Complicated lacing, unflattering heels or uncomfortable materials are out this year. Instead, comfortable materials and an ergonomically shaped footbed are the order of the day. Practical and fashionable are not mutually exclusive.
More sandal trends for 2024
Models with platform heels in a raffia look or with a strong contrast are also on trend this summer. Braided sandals, mules or mules in an elegant leather look or square sandals are also a good choice in 2024 to shine fashionably.
