Ditch Your Flip-Flops For A Pair Of Lace-Up Flat Sandals

Laces, usually not something you normally see on womens footwear aside from maybe sneakers and hiking boots, began emerging as a trendy feminine detail on ankle boots and oxford styles last season. Now that it’s sandal season, laces have adapted to suit our summer style too, and are making their way onto some fabulous flat sandals as well! Sure, the idea having to lace up your sandals kind of defeats their slip-on-and-go mentality — after all, they aren’t exactly as low-maintenance as your favorite flip-flops — but overall I think the look is worth the few extra seconds it takes to tie them on!

Lace ups are apparent on nearly every hot sandal trend this season. For example, these Joie Picasso flats mix laces with cut-outs for a look that’s totally unique — though beware of some funky foot tan lines! Also, if you’re into the ankle cuff trend, I love these DV by Dolce Vita Avila sandals, which come in black, brown, and gray. No matter which style suits you best, I love the versatility of this season’s lace-ups, ready to be paired with a flirty sundress or add some extra on-trend style to salvage a lazy Sunday casual look!
