Warm weather means it’s sandal-wearing time. I have a few go-to summer sandals that get me through the warm summer months from flip-flops to dressy sandals to weekend sandals. Do you have a favorite sandal?
Must-Have Summer Sandals
1. Reefs Ginger Flip Flops– My friend, Jane turned me on to Reefs a few years ago. I love them because they are comfortable, cushioned and form to fit your feet as you walk. They are perfect to take on vacation to the beach or lounging by the pool and just hanging around.
2. Birkenstock Gizeh– I resisted wearing Birkenstocks for years or should I say pretty much half my life. Seriously, it is the ugliest shoe known to man. Sometimes, fashion wins out over comfort. But a few years ago, someone at the company wised up and started making cuter designs for women. Then I began seeing this version of the sandal all over the city which was super appealing and comes in a ton of cute colors. Of course, I had to ask every woman wearing them if they liked them and the statistically, an unscientific response was an overwhelming, Yes. So I broke down and bought a pair and I love them. Fashionable but with the Birkenstock comfort. Styles include Birkenstock Gizeh and Birkenstock Gizeh Birko-Flor.
3. Jack Rogers Flat Sandals – This sandal has been a perennial favorite of the Upper East Side and Palm Beach for years. The sandal became popular after Jackie O wore them in the 60’s. In my opinion, it’s a little dressier sandal but others would disagree as I see them pretty much everywhere. The problem with this sandal is that it comes in a million colors and styles including a wedge and since I don’t have Oprah money and can only afford to buy a pair in every color, I bought pink. Why pink? Who knows? I am sure I was in my ” I am not buying black today mood, I need color, dammit.”So the flip side is that I can only wear the sandals with a few outfits. But so cute, it makes me want to go and buy more… Stop me. Jack Rogers Hamptons sandals, Jack Rogers dress sandals, and Jack Rogers wedge.
4. Havaianas– The cool, hip Jamaican sandals worn by Jamaicans and supermodels. I discovered these sandals while vacationing in Jamaica. They are cute, comfortable and affordable. This Havaianas sandal comes in a host of colors to choose from, so go wild and buy a ton to match your favorite outfits. And they are great to throw a pair in your suitcase for a beach vacation. “Supermodel, work, work it, girl?”Just a little RuPaul homage.
