Summer is finally underway, signifying the welcome return of my favourite time of year: sandal season. When it comes to individual style, we all have the pieces that excite us the most, but one thing we can all agree on is the power of a particularly good shoe, and whether you’re a dress devotee or live in linen, as soon as the sun’s out, we all reach for a sandal.
As a self-confessed shoe fanatic, I spend the better part of my days looking at shoes, trying on shoes and writing about shoes, and after reviewing everything from Adidas trainers to Gucci loafers, I can spot a shoe trend happening from a mile off. But when it comes to a summer sandal, there’s one brand I always turn to for a runway-ready slip-on (and it isn’t Crocs).
Chloé are no strangers to stylish sandals–after all, elevated, boho elegance is in the brand’s DNA, and what could be more chic than an eye-catching flat shoe? From the C-logo slides to the classic Woody (along with a pair of SS’19 Croc-Effect Wave sandals that I haven’t stopped thinking about since 2018), Chloé have given us plenty of great shoes to get excited about. Chic, playful and, most importantly, easy to wear, the brand has been cropping up on the feet of the most fashionable women over the last decade, thanks in part to stints from Creative Directors Phoebe Philo, Claire Waight Keller and most recently, Gabriella Hearst.
