We personally can't wait to dust off our flatforms to Teva-inspired sandals. How to Style: Wear the comfy platform sandals with an all-black ensemble for a sleek monochromatic look. 5 Animal Prints Image Source: Getty/Christian Vierig Animal prints are considered neutrals for a reason. From snakeskin to cheetah, we're channelling our animal instincts by trying out an array of mules, tall boots, and ankle boots in these bold prints. How to Style: Style a sultry long-sleeved midi dress with a pair of tall snakeskin-print boots. 6 Strappy Sandals Sure, strappy sandals have been around for years, but we're seeing a more sleek look taking over. Think super thin straps that come in minimalist designs. These modern sandals will instantly elevate even a simple pair of jeans. How to Style: Style a pair with a crisp button-down and black jeans or opt for a girlier option with a tank top and polka-dot skirt. 7 Zara Wood Heeled Leather Sandals Image Source: Getty These Zara Wood Heeled Leather Sandals ($50, originally $90) feature a sleek geometric heel.
