How to Style Sandals This Summer (2026)
Summer is officially here, and sandals are the one shoe style that can take you from the beach to brunch without missing a beat. Whether you're rocking cork footbed slides or strappy buckle sandals, the right pair can elevate any outfit. Here's how to style sandals this summer and make every step count.
1. Pair Cork Footbed Sandals with Linen Everything
Cork footbed sandals are having a major moment in 2026. Their natural texture and neutral tones make them the perfect match for linen trousers, linen shorts, or a flowy linen dress. The earthy tones complement each other beautifully, giving you that effortless summer aesthetic without trying too hard.
Style tip: Go for a monochrome linen look in beige or white and let your sandals do the talking. Our cork footbed sandals come in 7 colours — from classic black to bold camel — so there's a shade for every outfit.
2. Dress Up Buckle Sandals for a Night Out
Double-buckle sandals aren't just for daytime. Pair them with wide-leg trousers and a fitted top for an elevated evening look. The hardware detail adds just enough edge to make the outfit feel intentional.
Style tip: Metallic gold buckles work especially well with earth tones and deep jewel colours like burgundy or forest green.
3. Go Monogram for a Designer-Inspired Look
Printed and monogram sandals are one of the biggest footwear trends of 2026. Style them with solid-colour outfits to let the print stand out — think white shorts, a black tee, or a simple sundress. Our monogram cork sandals bring luxury-inspired style at a fraction of the price.
Style tip: Keep the rest of your accessories minimal when wearing printed sandals. Let the shoes be the statement piece.
4. Style Slides with Athleisure
Slides aren't just poolside footwear anymore. Pair them with matching co-ord sets, bike shorts, or oversized hoodies for a relaxed, street-style-approved look. Add a structured bag and sunglasses to pull the whole look together.
Style tip: Check out our fashion bags collection and sunglasses to complete the look.
5. The Classic: Sandals + Summer Dress
You can't go wrong with sandals and a summer dress. Whether it's a floral midi, a slip dress, or a wrap dress, sandals ground the look and keep it breezy. Strappy styles work best with fitted dresses, while chunkier slides pair well with flowy silhouettes.
Style tip: Add a crossbody bag and a pair of UV400 polarized sunglasses for a complete, put-together summer outfit.
