Summer is the time when down-dressed, casual looks magically become stylish again. Chinos, short sleeves, and linen are all coming back into our closets, meaning it's time find the perfect flip-flops and summer sandals to top off your look. For whoever you want to be this summer and whatever adventures you might have on your calendar, we’ve rounded up the best, coolest, freshest, and most exciting sandal trends of the season.

As far as summer footwear goes, the lace-up sandal is no longer a trend—it's a staple for your warm-weather wardrobe. The best way to wear them? Use our wide selection of lace-up sandals to dress up your shorts, a romper or a jumpsuit. Whether you sport lace or stripes, these statement sandals will elongate your frame and take your look to the next level. The lace-up shoe can instantly add a little edge to the feminine trend, and it is a great way to take your favorite summer skirt from day to night. If you choose to go with a wedge sandal, we highly recommend the stunner of the summer, the Fly London ‘Yuke’ platform sandal. Not loving an elongated leg? The Naot Yarrow sandal is a comfortable and colorful choice if you want to try the trend in a more casual way.

Wedge sandals were hot trend again this spring, but we will also see this trend carry us into summertime - and for a good reason! Wedge sandals score high on the comfort and chic-factor, giving all the ladies more height for less hurt. A wedged sandal in a neutral tone are great ways to elongate your legs, yet are chic enough to wear with any other color in your wardrobe, offering versatility without being boring or basic. With the right pair of neutral wedges, you can go from a day at the office to a summer evening barbecue with friends. Simply put, wedged sandals are cool both in the way they look and the way they feel. For our fashion-forward fashionistas, we recommend either the Clark’s Annadel Eirwyn (pictured above in Sand) or the Kork-Ease Austin (pictured above in Rust).

The 70’s are back, baby! A perfect complement to your style with the arrival of warm weather, the coveted clog is back in action. For those days when comfort is all that matters—except you still want to hold onto your style cred— we recommend pulling out a pair of clogs.  And with walkable block heels, chic crisscross bodies, and a bright crop of colors, they're so much cooler than the clogs you remember from your childhood. For a Sunday morning step-out, try the Ugg Janie Clog with your favorite pair white jeans and a simple top. For a comfy & très chic shoe out on the town, we recommend the Dansko Thea.

No matter the season, flip flops are a coveted shoe that gives our toes a break from the squeeze of our workday heals. With all day comfort guaranteed, you can easily slip them on to take a walk with your dog or kick them off for a day at the beach. This summer, expect to see the flip-flop trend get slimmer. This summer will feature a wide variety of flip flops with thinner straps than ever before for a fancy and feminine twist. Best of all, you can still expect the same amount of comfort, durability, and style from all the flip flop brands you know and love! From a brunch to a boat, or biking to the beach, an essential women's flip flop we recommend is Olukai Kulapa Kai Leather- the signature thin straps never get loose and the patented design never loses its shape. If you're looking for something more classic, the Rainbows Premier Leather Narrow Strap Sandal offers a feminine twist to the classic Rainbow shoe.

With summer in full swing, now is the time to find yourself a pair of cute and comfortable sandals to go with every sundress and bikini you slip on this season. From clogs to wedges, these sandal options are the perfect way to beat the heat while still looking chic and put together. No matter what you're doing or where you’re going this summer, there's a sandal for everyone for every occasion at Abbadabba’s.
