Summer sandals may be dominated by the gladiator and flip-flop, but for girls out there that don’t want to look like a boho beach babe or like they’re heading into battle, the slide sandal and the espadrille may be the perfect summer shoe. Bringing together two of the season’s biggest trends, the slide espadrille adds a bit of polish that you wont’ find with a flip-flop and offers the seasonal detailing of an woven espadrille sole. Plus, the ease and comfort of a slide style shoe are just undeniable. They’ll add a touch of sophistication to even the most laid-back outfit (your go-to shorts and T-shirt included) and take away that too-precious feel you might have with your summery dresses. Perfect? These picks are pretty close.
