3 “Dated” Sandals Trend Are Editors Aren’t Wearing This Summer

Given that it’s summer (well, for the most part anyway) and the fact that this is a fashion website, it’s inevitable that much of the talk between our editors centres around sandals at the moment. We’ve dedicated ourselves to bringing up to speed on this subject, charting the sandals trends that are worthy of your attention for 2024. However, one thing we haven’t yet done is talked about the sandals we wouldn’t necessarily recommend investing in this season.

Although we’re editors—people trained to be unbiased when it comes to fashion journalism—we of course have our own opinions on what’s stylish right now, regardless of the trend cycle that’s going on. So, I thought it might be interesting to give my colleagues the opportunity to be candid for a second and reveal the sandal trends that, for lack of a better word, feel a little dated to them now. Their reasons for this are completely personal, so if there’s a sandal they’re not especially into this summer but you are, then that’s okay—better than! You’re entitled to your own opinion too, of course, and we’d never tell you that you shouldn’t wear a trend you really like.
