The Ultimate Guide to Summer's Most Picture Perfect Sandals
We've handpicked some of our favourite colourful sandals of the season and created a collection of summer snapshots worth keeping. From standout shades to holiday-ready silhouettes, these are the styles making every outfit feel brighter, bolder, and beautifully effortless. Like the best summer memories, some styles deserve to be captured and kept.
Think sun-soaked afternoons, spontaneous adventures, garden parties that stretch into the evening, and colourful moments that feel straight out of a polaroid. This season is all about embracing vibrant hues, effortless comfort, and sandals that bring a little sunshine to every step.
Your picture-perfect summer starts here.
The Embrace
Some colours instantly transport you to summer, and Embrace in valley suede does exactly that. Captured in a rich burnt orange suede, this striking shade feels made for golden-hour evenings and sunny escapes. Whether paired with crisp white linen, classic black separates, or styled alongside matching orange accessories, it's a colour that effortlessly elevates a holiday wardrobe.
The wraparound design creates a flattering silhouette, while the rectangular raffia-effect buckle adds an unmistakably holiday-inspired finish. Hidden beneath the buckle is a practical rip-tape fastening, allowing for easy adjustments throughout the day, particularly useful during warmer weather when feet may naturally swell.
Underfoot, the textured, patterned sole feels distinctly summery, while the lightweight PU construction ensures comfort without adding unnecessary weight to your suitcase. The 7.5cm wedge platform offers height with added stability, helping you feel secure on everything from cobbled streets to garden party lawns.
Whether you're heading to a barbecue, race day, or a sunset dinner abroad, Embrace is one you'll want to revisit all season long.
The Everly
If summer had a signature colour, soft pink would be a strong contender.
Everly captures that playful, feminine energy perfectly. Crafted in soft pink suede, it brings a fresh pop of colour while remaining effortlessly wearable. The decorative beaded circular buckle detail adds a touch of elegance, while cleverly concealing a rip-tape fastening that allows for a personalised fit.
Inside, nubuck leather lining combines softness with durability, while Gabor's Best Fitting technology offers extra room in the ball area of the foot, creating a more comfortable walking experience throughout the day.
The tonal pink buckle keeps the Everly refined and coordinated, while the neutral-toned 3.5cm TPR sole subtly lifts the silhouette without competing with the beautiful upper.
An elastic gusset works alongside the adjustable fastening, ensuring the sandal moves comfortably with you from morning sightseeing to evening cocktails. Simply slip them on, adjust the fit, and step straight into summer.
The Lanzarote
Every photo album needs a burst of sunshine.
Lanzarote in yellow suede brings exactly that. Bright, cheerful, and full of personality, it's the kind of sandal that instantly lifts both your wardrobe and your mood.
The soft suede finish elevates the vibrancy of the colour beautifully, creating a look that feels sophisticated rather than overpowering. A refined toe-loop design adds elegance, while the cream zigzag stitching around the edge showcases the thoughtful craftsmanship that makes this style feel extra special.
Combined with nubuck leather detailing, the sandal offers a soft, supportive feel, while the practical 2cm rubber heel keeps every step comfortable and effortless.
Style it with lightweight linens or floral prints featuring hints of yellow to create a beautifully coordinated summer look. Whether you're exploring a coastal town or enjoying a relaxed weekend brunch, Lanzarote is ready for all the attention!
The Monica
Not every summer memory is bright and bold. Some are timeless, effortless, and endlessly wearable.
Monica in dark blue suede offers a sophisticated alternative to classic black, introducing just enough colour while maintaining remarkable versatility. It's the perfect choice for those who prefer understated elegance during the warmer months.
The soft microfibre lining enhances comfort, while the lightweight PU espadrille-inspired sole brings a relaxed holiday feel to every outfit. Like several of our favourite summer styles, Monica features a decorative buckle that conceals an easy rip-tape fastening, making it quick to slip on and adjust when you're eager to head out and enjoy the sunshine.
A 6.5cm wedge heel provides comfortable elevation, while the wider fit offers extra room where it's needed most. The espadrille-effect detailing delivers unmistakable summer charm, and the elastic gusset around the ankle adds welcome flexibility throughout the day.
From city breaks to seaside strolls, Monica captures the essence of effortless summer dressing.
