The sun is at last shining (ish) and that means one thing: it's sandal season. From flip-flops and Birkenstocks to gladiator sandals and everything in-between, there's one new style that's emerged as the sandal of the season: the toe ring sandal. Usually a simple classic leather sandal with the added extra of a toe strap in gold or silver, you might've seen this super chic style pop up on your Instagram feeds as an influencer fave.
Take note from fashion aficionado, Ellie Delphine who styled her Zara strappy flat sandals with a belted t-shirt dress for an effortlessly cool summer outfit. This pair in question come in at £35.99 and are selling out quickly, but there are plenty of other toe ring sandals ready to shop right now. Emme Parsons lead the way with its sell-out Laurie style (don't worry these have just been restocked) whilst Massimo Dutti's chunky black and gold take will go with everything in your wardrobe. Elsewhere, Reformation has just launched its new minimal Cassandra style, available in cream leather, conker brown croc effect and classic black, each with the trademark toe ring sandal detail in gold and silver.
If you're not a fan of heels, consider these embellished flats the perfect eveningwear-appropriate flat shoes. For a chic wedding guest look, try yours with a slouchy tailored suit with minimal gold jewellery or with this summers cult-favourite polka dot dress. Or for something more casual, pair your toe ring embellished sandals with turn-up jeans and a bright, bold t-shirt - the coolest outfit for strolling around in the sunshine.
What better way to add some sparkle to your tootsies?
