Goodbye boots, hello sandals! No need to blow your budget on a fresh new pair, this season has more than enough chic sandals that are reasonably affordable. Here are the hottest 10 we could find, all under $100, so you won't feel bad if you find yourself buying more than just one, or even two.
Hippie Chic Flats
If your style is hippie-chic, you will adore Steve Madden's Seaverr sandals. These neutral sandals are super comfy and pair easily with almost anything. While the tan ankle cuff and braided t-strap give off a relaxed and casually-cool vibe, the colorful print on the back makes for a bold surprise. Pair these sandals with skinny jeans and a structured jacket for work, or wear them with a silk maxi dress for a hot summer date.
Mint Glitter
This summer is all about unexpected surprises and accents, like these TopShop mint glitter sandals. These suede flatforms come in one of this season's hottest hues: mint green. But the fun doesn't stop on top. These trendy sandals feature glittered soles that give just the right amount of dazzle without venturing into tacky territory.
Iced Jellies
Not your typical jellies, these clear jeweled sandals from Zara are anything but schoolgirlish. The neutral colored straps are chic while the rose gold accents give these sandals the luxe treatment. The jeweled studs provide a glamorous contrast to the clear strap, resulting in a killer summer combination. Pair these dazzlers with a day dress for a sweet look or with an all-black outfit for a more vampy result.
Color Block Metal
It's no surprise that color blocking continues to be a fashion hit. For summer, upgrade your color blocking skills by incorporating metallic tones like this Boutique 9 sandal. The gold hues look fresh and chic, and is the perfect combination to show off your tan legs. While you might be tempted to go gold on your polish as well, opt for a matte gray instead for a fashion-forward contrast.
Pop Your Toes
From one big trend to the next, bright colors are a must this summer. If you find yourself not ready for the full bright makeover, start small with Sam Edelman's Gigi Sandals. The citron hue on these snake-embossed leather thong sandals looks young, trendy, and will make your toes pop. Not only are these flats fashionable and chic, they also feature a non-slip rubber patch sole for a comfortable fit. The notice-me citron pairs perfectly with most hues, giving these sandals a lot of range in the wardrobe department.
Two-Tone Cool
For the modern gal who avoids frills and bows, try on these modern two-tone-cool sandals from TopShop.
