Seasons are becoming obsolete in fashion. Call it a response to the climate crisis or the fact that people don’t want to overhaul their wardrobes every six (or even three) months, but on the S/S 20 runways, we saw plenty of coats and items normally reserved for cooler weather. In response to this, Who What Wear’s editor Emma Spedding commented that “throwaway trends are becoming increasingly passé, and we are all looking for clothes that will have a lasting impact.”
So where does that leave us with sandal trends for this year, I hear you ask? Well, instead of a dramatic change from the previous year, we’re seeing a continuation of trends that worked for us throughout the whole of spring and summer 2019. Yes, we’re talking “dad” sandals, strappy heels and minimalist footwear. However, if you’re champing at the bit for newness, then there are other trends that might fill that hole. Pastel colours are making an impact this coming season, as are platform-style sandals.
Finally, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t mention heeled flip-flops. Initially, this was a divisive microtrend that became popular at the end of last summer, but it’s guaranteed to be on the feet of every fashion person we know this coming season. Keep scrolling for all the 2020 sandal trends you need to know.
