After weeks of not really wearing shoes other then workout sneakers, a sandal seems oddly practical at the moment. This season is filled with trends that are not only stylish but also comfortable. Channelling '90s and early '2000s nostalgia, many of these trends are definitely a throwback — think chunky flatforms, sporty sandals, and gladiators. I'm envisioning easy summer go-tos like Tevas and a cotton slip dress or gladiators with cutoff denim shorts and knit tanks.

1. Flatform / Chunky Sandals

We love the thick soles and extra cushion we get from these silhouettes. Plus, they go just as well with breezy dresses as they do with well-worn jeans.
