          With metal accents being one of the biggest handbag trends of recent seasons, it’s no wonder that the look has made its way to footwear. Toe ring sandals have fast become the most forward-thinking, unexpected way to step out in style this summer. While you can find variations in leather and other fabrics, the most popular version features a prominent piece of gold or silver (or maybe even mixed metals) right at the big toe. Just add a few anklets, and you’re sure to feel adorned yet never overdone.\n<\/p>\n

            Floral details may always be popular in spring, leading to the infamous Miranda Priestly quote as well as\u00a0one of this year’s biggest handbag trends,\u00a0but now, it’s summer’s turn to get the 3D bloom treatment. This season, you’ll spot tropical and abstract motifs galore serving as unmissable centerpieces to all our favorite sandal styles, especially the kitten heel variety.\n<\/p>\n

              Raffia accessories return to fashion every summer, and this season is especially exciting in the footwear department. The time-honored woven material has made its way to streamlined mules, dainty ballet flats, and more, leaning into a resort-luxe aesthetic that would feel right at home on The White Lotus<\/em>. Just add breezy linen pieces and some statement jewelry, and you’ll have a winning summer look.\n<\/p>\n
