How To Style Vegan Sandals
There is nothing like that time of year when we can finally slip our feet into breezy open-toe sandals. Nothing says "summer" like putting your boots away and reaching for a strappy creation to team with your hot-weather outfits. The right sandal has the potential to take you from busy mornings to afternoon hangouts and evening cocktails with effortless ease – and even do double duty on the weekend.
Pedicures aside, what's the best way to wear the summer's best vegan sandal styles? "The right sandal doesn’t just complete your outfit—it transforms it," says stylist and ethical-fashion advocate Rebekah Roy. "From showing off your fresh pedicure to adding a touch of understated allure, there’s something undeniably sexy about baring your ankles. For centuries, ankles and feet have been seen as sensual—so this summer, have fun flaunting them in the right pair of sandals."
If you're looking for a simple, unassuming sandal that will slot into your wardrobe without making too much of a statement, check out V.GAN's selection of footbed sandals that boast supreme comfort and are easy to match with everything from jeans to summer dresses. Throw on some light denim and a slouchy summer top alongside a pared-down black or brown footbed sandal for easy chic - the ultimate off-duty outfit. Craving a simple touch of colour? V.GAN also offers sandals in summer-appropriate pastels and zesty citrus hues.
Having to work during the heatwave? We feel your pain, but at least you can look amazing while on duty. Head to NAE Vegan Shoes for fuss-free, sleek sandals perfect for the office. Pair a barely-there heel with a structured dress or a crisp shirt for a warm-weather take on 9-to-5 chic. If your work wardrobe is a bit of a bore and needs a pick-me-up in the form of a shoe, check out Minuit Sur Terre's vast array of subtly colourful and statement-making styles in planet-friendly textiles such as recycled grains. This vegan brand has something for every...foot. "Wide feet? Look for cross-strap designs," advises Rebekah Roy. "Slim ankles? Add definition with a delicate strap." Minuit Sur Terre are experts in both.
