Sole Searching: The Sandals I’m Wearing All Summer Long
And then some.
By FP contributor, Jane Cook.
Throughout the year, you can find me donning a bit of a uniform – mainly a white tee and a good pair of denim. But when summer rolls around, I like to switch up my footwear to match the changing season -- who doesn’t? In comes the Shaea Strappy Sandal. The perfect balance of comfy and chic, the Shaea has become my go-to shoe to elevate this timeless outfit formula. These sandals kept me comfortable while I ran errands in downtown Philadelphia (leaving no blisters, a summer blessing!) and I know I’ll be reaching for them again on my next night out. And if you’re in need for your new summer tee + denim basics, check out We The Free’s Fade Into You Tee and our CRVY Vintage High Rise Flare Jeans.
The wrap sandal is a smart staple in any summer wardrobe -- it is versatile, comfortable, and can easily transition from daytime activities to nighttime festivities! I find myself reaching for the Distant Shores Wrap Sandals the most. The taupe shade is the perfect summer neutral and I was so happy to find the straps stayed up all day, even while walking up & down the four flights to the rooftop of my house! Pair them back to the free-est Struttin Midi Dress, and getting summer-ready feels like a breeze.
Truth be told, I could wear yellow all year long -- but when the weather is warm, it just feels right to match the sunshine! The FP Movement Halftime Slides have been the perfect slip-on for me while I’m on the go, leaving a workout, or hanging around the house. Even without socks, these are non-slip and incredibly comfortable. They really feel like they were made for you! Pair them back to a cool graphic, like the Coke Catch the Wave Tee, and your favorite pair of FP Movement shorts (I recommend the Get Your Flirt On Shorts), and you’re good to go!
Off the bat, one of the best parts about the Athena Anklet Wrap Sandals is how beautiful they are -- topping (or bottoming) off any outfit, the Athena comes with a gorgeous silver or gold chain (depending on the color shoe you choose!) that lays around the ankle and stays free of the easy-to-wear straps. I recently wore these sandals to dinner and I received so many compliments! And if you’re looking for your summer maxi skirt + tiny-top fix, look no further than the free-est Simply Smitten Maxi Skirt and the Be My Baby Tee -- they’ll become your staples (next to your Athenas)!
