Less unflattering than the gladiator sandal and less ubiquitous than the thong sandal, yet equally outfit-versatile in 70-degree weather: the strappy leather sandal. In natural brown leather, it’s the spring and summer shoe to have. They pair with everything from skirts to shorts to dresses, and let’s be real: In this weather, that is everything. Strappy sandals toe the line (if you know what I’m saying) between casual and formal–especially if they have a wedge heel. If you go for the trend you should probably hop aboard now, before they become last summer’s Sam Edelman monotone thongs! Perish the thought.
