I don’t know about you, but summer shopping is in full swing in my house. Whenever I get a chance I scour the internet for the best shorts, hats, dresses and, of course, sandals. Sandals are, in fact, the foundation of every single one of my outfits from May to September. With a few exceptions for cute flats or sneakers, I wear my sandals 24/7, so now that summer is upon us, I have my eye on a new pair — or, to be honest, several pairs.
I’ve already narrowed down a few 2026 sandal trends I’m eager to snag, including great-looking suede sandals, cute embellished styles, childhood-inspired jelly sandals, and ’90s minimalist thongs. Now, all that’s left is to shop, and I have the shop. The edit below includes everything from Manolo Blahnik to Dior, so keep exploring my handpicked list of the best summer sandals to shop now and wear in the coming months.
