Here are our favourite dressy beach sandals for this summer season! There is very little not to like about summer. Nice weather, long afternoons, travelling… one second you’re in the city checking the newest Thai restaurant with your friends and the next you’re planning a day trip to Brighton. There is only one issue about our fast and changeable summer life: picking an outfit in the morning becomes ridiculously harder. Fortunately, we’ve found 15 sandals that will save both your beach and your fancy dinner looks! Get one of these and don’t let anything stop you this summer.
No other pair of summer shoes is as versatile as wedges. They make your legs look endless in a beach dress during the day, and they add the extra inches you need to wear those fabulous culotte pants you bought for your next night out. Needless to say, you’ll wear them every summer.
Sophisticated as well as casual, a combination not many items achieve. Their relaxed and chic appearance makes them the perfect match for any occasion, and they will give any outfit a 60s nostalgia that you will love. Invest this summer in flat sandals with leather straps, and find yourself wearing them with your entire wardrobe. Copy this style
Nothing screams “It’s finally summer!” more than a pair of espadrille sandals. Icons such as Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin made espadrilles their footwear of choice during the hot season, because they knew these shoes’ candor would give a summery twist to the simplest of outfits. This is the perfect choice for dressy beach sandals!
Long gone are the gladiator-inspired sandals we used to see so often on our Instagram feed, because it seems there is a new style of braided sandal that will take over our summer wardrobe. Avoid more traditionally summery colours and try this model in black. It will create a beautiful contrast with your bright pedicure when you wear them to the beach, and blend in perfectly with your summer nights looks.
Regardless of material, as long as they’re flat and have a cute knot, you know these sandals are a sure winner. Wear them to the pool with your tiniest shorts (since they don’t have a strap around your ankle, your legs will look longer), or match them with cool-coloured or white jeans for your plans in the evening. Everyone will ask you where you got them!
These original sandals caught us all by surprise when, in late 2017, influencer Collage Vintage wore them during her trip to Marrakech. Now these sandals are back to accompany you in your busy summer life. Their best feature? They are such a statement on their own, they will make any outfit instagram worthy. A top choice for dressy beach sandals!

Somehow, pompoms have a way of returning every summer. It probably has to do with their colourful and carefree appearance, that goes so well with our mood during the hot season. If you’re the girl who smiles morning till night during a sunny day, you’ve found your match. Another super cute pick for dressy beach sandals!

It’ll be summer soon and you don’t want to bid goodbye to faux fur sliders yet? Well, nobody says you have to! All you need to do is give them a summery twist by going for brighter colours and different textures. A good choice is these from Urban Outfitters (you’re welcome).
Buckled slides have the right amount of attitude, as well as the rare ability to give the most innocent looking summer outfit a rebellious touch. Get them here.
For those sunny days you just cannot be bothered with thinking which shoes to wear, you’ll be happy you bought a pair of easy-going white sandals. Not only will they match with abosolutely everything in your closet, they will also balance your more colourful outfits, in those days when you’re feeling most creative.

The opposite of minimalism. Allow your gem sandals the protagonism they deserve and let them shine by combining them with simpler items.

Tie these beautiful straps printed sandals up and get ready for a full day in the sun! Chic and colourful, to go with a summer dress or your most casual jean and tee combo.
Many brands are betting on this model to become the biggest trend of summer 2018. Love it or hate it, you must admit there is something oddly comforting about the only strap going around your big toe. That said, its status as a “glorified flip flop” makes it versatile enough for the beach and your strolls around the city.
Cool by the pool, and cooler on the road. Pool side slippers come in many shapes and forms (take for instance these from Urban Outfitters, and these from Zara) but the edgy vibe that comes with wearing this obviously summery shoe outside the pool never goes away.
Even though pastels have dominated throughout springtime, more vibrant and brighter colours are making a comeback this summer. With the ability to upgrade any look, bold coloured mules will become your new favourite shoes.
