When it comes to the kind of leather sandals that you can wear with everything - silky slip dresses, raw-hemmed denim, button-through linen skirts - The Row is the ultimate. Its quiet take on luxury has attracted a celebrity following that includes Zoë Kravitz, Kendall Jenner, Meghan Markle, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Danielle Haim. And as summer approaches, the item on every editor's wishlist is a pair of the label's caged leather sandals – if you can get your hands on them, that is.
Even then, at £1,060 they're not exactly the most affordable summer shoe on the market. Thankfully, M&S has produced its own take on the fisherman's sandal trend.
Available in off-white and black, the chunky sandals - yours for £45 - are sure to be a summer blockbuster. They have thick straps (just like The Row) and the sturdy flatform sole means they're comfortable and easy to wear while still giving you a bit of added height – perfect for pairing with wide-leg jeans or longer linen dresses.
Stylist Monikh Dale - not to mention art director Alexis Foreman - both have the cult caged sandals from The Row, and wear them with luxe neutrals like beige cashmere and black trousers or ecru knitted sweater dresses (chic).
No, it's not exactly sandal weather right now but that's exactly why it might be a good time to get your hands on these bad boys. By the time you do want to wear them, they will most likely be sold out.
