The sun is shining… today anyway. So embrace the summertime vibe by shopping some of the best summer sandals in stores now. Here are nine of the finest…

I like the mix of textures offered by these Zara flats – suede, leather and tortoiseshell – and the fact that they’re a wear-with-anything kind of shoe.

If summer clothes can sometimes feel a little too floaty or feminine for you, anchor them with a cool zebra print shoe like these from Massimo Dutti.
