Black & Red Summer Sandals
A.Emery Black Sandals
It’s no secret that A.Emery is one of my go-to sandal brands (I’ve been wearing for a few years now). I have a couple styles that are making this list and topping it at the moment is the Kinto Sandal if you’re looking for that chic but elevated simple summer sandal. The leather straps are supple and soft while the platform is sturdy. I find them comfortable upon first wear but also a stiffer sandal that holds up nicely (why I love my A.Emery styles) and look chic for that summer in the city style.
I own these in the soft ivory Eggshell color but all of the colors are great and of course you can’t go wrong with black. I’m tempted to snag another color as they’re that good of an option to have on hand for styling. I think of these as a dressy summer sandal… very The Row with wide leg pants and simple summer dresses.
If you have a wider footbed you may prefer / want to check out The Morgan Sandal instead.
Madewell has a similar save option ($68).
Essen Red Sandals
I don’t own these but have had this pair from Essen on my wish list for some time after seeing them on various friends online! I’ve heard they’re very comfortable, and I just love the minimal barely there straps (always so flattering). They’re so fun in the red but also come in a few other great basic colors including black as well.
I like that these feel dressier and fun for a party or event and would add that color pop I often crave to any outfit.
Madewell also has a similar save option ($78).
Madewell Red Sandals
Speaking of Madewell, another fun red sandal option if you’re looking for one. This knotted design also makes this a dressier style to jazz up your summer denim or skirts.
A.Emery Black Sandals
The other A.Emery style I own and love for a chicer summer sandal option is the Carter Leather Slide (also available here). These break in nicely and have worn so well over the past year or two I’ve owned them (they still look brand new). I actually own these in the brown leather which has been a great summer staple to have.
Note: I have always taken my true size in A.Emery (36) but if you’re in between I would size up.
Freda Salvador Black Sandals
Freda Salvador also just recently launched their own barely there leather summer sandal, the Alexia, that is so chic for city summer wearing! In fact, Freda makes the best shoes (comfort, craftsmanship ~ they truly wear and last for years). I also love these in the latte color.
