TRENDY SUMMER 2026 SANDALS

Get ready for summer in style, that's the motto. The goal? Find the perfect sandals to complement every summer outfit, from casual beach day looks to more elegant styles for summer nights that last until dawn. Here’s a look at the must-have trends.

Essential. Timeless. Unmistakable. Flat sandals are the ultimate proof that you don't need towering heels to be stylish. The Summer 2026 trends are definitive: flat sandals are here to stay. This season, flat sandals are wider, adorned with statement buckles, and available in raw leather or suede. Flat, but far from boring.

Sam Edelman undoubtedly presents the model of the season: a pair of crochet raffia sandals topped with a speckled acetate buckle: the perfect equation to refresh the flat sandal.

A wealth of styles perfect for adding a bohemian yet chic touch.

A complete departure from flat sandals, wedge shoes are making a strong comeback. This season, they are the obvious fashion choice for those who want to gain (a little) height.

The idea is simple: it needs to be sensational. Daring! Far from the too-classic wedge sandals, the trend is for shoes that stand out, and from a distance. Like the iconic wedge sandals from Chloé with their engraved soles like a teenage declaration of love. Or the short-pile leopard print platform sandals from Naked Wolfe. Subtlety will have to wait.

The ultimate touch to enhance a look, gold sandals are a must-have as soon as the sun’s rays appear. As chic as they are versatile, they go with all styles, all colors, and all outfits.

Choose them with a kitten heel (low heel) to elevate a light dress with spring accents. For evening wear, metallic sandals from Maje will naturally bring the elegance of grand evenings.

Do you prefer to see the world at your own height? Bet (again) on flat sandals! With straps or in a slide version, they add a touch of glamour to a more casual look. Clever!

More retro, more daring, more Mediterranean, braided sandals have never really gone out of style. This year again, they gain height and come in a platform version perfect for warm summer days.

The platform espadrilles from Jules & Jenn are among the most essential models. Worn with a floral dress, they become the charming touch to subtly break a prim look.

More fashion-forward, the Prada sandals juggle between the look of fisherman shoes, a fashion statement that hits the mark season after season, and platform sandals.

Summer is made for dancing until dawn. An activity that requires shoes as comfortable as they are stylish. Let's focus on sandals that will hit the mark: heels that are neither too high nor too low. Beautifully intertwined sandals on top, to better enhance the foot.

Right on trend for summer 2026, Stuart Weitzman highlights a model made for all occasions: sling backs with a rhinestone-embellished strap for just the right amount of wow factor.

The ultimate? Subtly juggle between shoes that are as well-suited for dancing as they are for walking along a beach promenade. Where do we sign?

What if for Spring-Summer 2026, the trend was, once again, for strappy sandals? Let's focus on very comfortable models. Far from prioritizing only comfort, wide-strap sandals are also, and above all, extremely stylish.

While the Arizona model from the German brand Birkenstock continues to establish itself as a key reference, it would be a shame to miss out on the studded chunky sandal by SAISON 1865. They are worn just as easily with a short dress for warmer days, as with jeans for cooler summer evenings.

In 2026, and especially when it comes to fashion, it's time to accept it: men's sandals are at the top of summer trends. For an everyday look, turn to Birkenstock's timeless models. In leather or suede, they establish themselves, season after season, as true timeless pieces.

Even better, since last year, flip-flops have once again become acceptably cool. A trend spotted among women that has quickly made its way into men's trends. Will you give in?

For Spring-Summer 2026, sandal trends are on the formal side: wait a bit before doing a major clear-out of your wardrobes. For men, the sandal remains a safe bet. While for women, braided sandals, gold sandals, or those with straps, continue to win over fashionistas.
