I’m a Sandals Obsessive—These Zara Pairs Deserve a Place Amongst My Designer Styles

I don’t care if the temperature’s still fluctuating between single and double digits—the clouds have parted, the sun is shining, and in my book, that can only mean one thing: sandal season has officially begun.

I know I’m not alone. All around me, signs point to a collective shift away from boots towards open-toe shoe options. The new-in sections are practically bursting with sandals and, as a self-proclaimed connoisseur, I’ve wasted no time doing a deep dive into my favourite brands' latest drops. There are some absolute gems out there but nothing, and I mean nothing, comes close to Zara’s current sandal selection.

From soft suede slides to elegant caged silhouettes, Zara has managed to cover every key trend catching my eye this season—and then some.
