YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Fashion Sandal trends 2020 Meet the shoes you’ ll be wearing all summer By You Magazine - April 29, 2020 With staying at home the new normal, your shoe rack may have become a slightly forgotten part of your wardrobe. Trainers are still managing to feature in our outfits thanks to our daily outdoor exercise allowance, but where does that leave the rest of our beloved footwear? We’re making the case for wearing shoes again, even if it is just around the house (something that’s not just fun but is actually medically advised). And as we leave winter behind and roll into spring and summer, we declare sandal season officially open. Once we’ve got our cracked feet sorted and toenails painted, we’re taking to browsing the online stores of our favourite retailers to get our SS20 sandal game on point. But where to start? There are lots of exciting sandal trends to tap into this season, with many of them totally versatile and wearable with a variety of outfits – we love when our shoes earn their cost-per-wear. To help you navigate your choices for this season so you can put your best foot forward, we’ve helpfully broken down the biggest open-toed trends of 2020. Many of the shoes in our edit even tick multiple trend boxes, making effortless cool easier than ever. Strappy The thought of navigating our way around a tangle of thin straps may fill you with dread, but strappy sandals are the shoe of choice for an elegant look this year and they’re simpler than they look – trust us! Just start putting them on a good few minutes before you intend to leave the house and you’ll be good – and it’ll be worth it for the style points.

Subtle, modern and totally classy, they look just as good elevating a pair of faded mom jeans as they do teamed with an elegant dress. Due to their ‘barely there’ nature, they’re a great way to inject a pop of colour to an outfit without making too much of a statement. Topshop Rise Orange Strappy Heels, £36, Topshop & Other Stories Strappy Leather Heeled Sandal, £85, & Other Stories Topshop Nature Black Strappy Block Heels, £42, Topshop Cos Leather heeled shoes, £125, Cos ASOS ASOS DESIGN Wide Fit Nova barely there heeled sandals in lilac, £20, ASOS Flatform Flatforms have been dividing opinions for years, as they can run the risk of looking too clunky, but in our books, that’s exactly where the fun lies. Embrace the chunky sole and pick ones with a minimalist design to let that thick flatform sole do all the talking.
