This past weekend was glorious. We spent tons of time outside and had an impromptu sprinkler session in our front yard. It definitely got me excited for summer. Since I was in sandals all weekend, I wanted to share some of my favorites of late.
I typically wear 3 kinds of flat sandals during the summer: beach/pool sandals, dressy sandals and platform sandals. These three categories cover all of my summer activities and outings and are super comfortable because they’re flat. No heels here!
Beach Sandals
I’m really hard on my sandals so I need a beach pair that can take a beating. This brand is the gold standard in chic flip flops. They have a TON of color options in all different styles. Go for a patent leather pair to wear by the pool. The rubber sole is super comfortable and they transition well to brunch or walking the town.

Dressy Sandals
Heels are pretty much a thing of the past for me. So how do I wear flats and make them look dressy? I invest in flat sandals with chic details. Whether it’s a long strap that can be tied several different ways, a fun print or a pop color, I choose something that makes a statement.
All of these can be pairs with dresses or skirts for a night on the town.

Platform Sandals
It probably comes as no surprise to you that platform sandals are my favorite. They scream Prada (even when they’re not) and have an edgy yet chic vibe. Dr. Marten’s and Birkenstock’s are the OG’s of platform sandals and I highly recommend both. Docs take longer to break in, but are so worth it. Birks go with everything and only get more comfy with time.
This pair is actually the impetus for today’s blog post. I saw them and fell in love. I adore the feminine yet edgy vibe and the lug sole. They look super comfortable.
