Polish your toes and slather on the foot cream — sandal season is officially here. Whether you’re headed on a beach trip or to a dressy backyard fête, you’ll need a pair of cute summer sandals that let you proudly put your fresh pedicure on display.

For summer 2023, there’s an array of trend-forward and streamlined, comfortable walking sandals to suit your needs. You can expect dad-approved, Gorpcore-style hiking sandals, similar to the Tevas seen on Gigi Hadid and Katie Holmes. Polished and practical flip-flops (like Jennifer Lawrence’s black thong sandals at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival) are on the up and up, as are comfortable slip-on-and-go styles donned by celebrities like Lucy Hale. Wedges are making a comeback, providing a comfortable alternative to stilettos while still offering a considerable height boost. If you’re looking to splurge, Bottega Veneta offers a gorgeous pair of woven wedges that deliver a beachy look (for budget-friendly alternatives, you can shop similar styles at J.Crew or Mango).

Since there’s no time like the present to invest in fresh sandals, we took it upon ourselves to compile 28 cute summer sandals that belong in your warm-weather wardrobe. From budget-friendly options to lust-worthy designer splurges, there’s a sandal style here to fit every occasion and budget.

  Kuru’s Breeze slide sandals are made for people with foot ailments, from plantar fasciitis to bunions. They’re one of the most comfortable slides and best shoes for work because of the built-in heel-, ankle-, and arch-support features that mold to your feet. These slides feel cushy on any bone spurs or tight muscles — but not so cushy that you feel unsupported. Plus, they feature the brand’s signature Kurucloud technology which delivers shock-absorbing cushion with each step.

  What reviewers say: “Wow! I love these! I tried them on and haven’t taken them off. I’m a true 7 and I ordered a 7, they fit like a glove. I have a high arch and the sole of this shoe definitely supports them. I have a narrow heel but I do have bunions so finding the right sandal is sometimes challenging. I’m so glad I came across this company. I will be purchasing more shoes from this company.”

Margot Robbie’s outfit roster for her ‘Barbie‘ press tour is like an extension of the movie itself. After Blowing her Birthday candles at the Seoul premiere of the film on July 2, Robbie turned heads in yet another pink outfit  today at a press conference with local and international media.

In true ‘Barbiecore’ fashion, Robbie answered the journalists questions wearing a Moschino bubblegum pink two-piece suit. Designed by Jeremy Scott, the style is part of the Italian brand’s Spring Summer 2015 collection which was inspired by the Mattel doll. The ensemble featured a 60’s-style short jacket, crop top, and mini skirt, all covered in sparkling crystals.

Robbie accessorized her look with a matching pink pillbox hat and a heart-shaped purse, also from Moschino and pearl earrings by Tiffany & Co.

As per footwear, Robbie completed the monochromatic ensemble with a set of peep-toed mules in the same shade of pink. The style is the Houramu mules by Manolo Blahnik and it features bright pink patent leather open toe mules with a soft scalloped shape and a 2.7 inch stiletto heel.

When it comes to style on this tour, The “Wolf of Wall Street” trusted seasoned hollywood stylist Andrew Mukamal, who’s also behind the looks of celebrities like Zoe Kravitz, Billie Eillish, Carey Mulligan, Kaia Gerber and many more. Mukamal is recreating the iconic doll’s style with pieces from brands like Versace, Bottega Veneta, Chanel and Valentino. When it comes down to shoes, he’s favoring sandals and pointed pumps mostly from Manolo Blahnik and Louboutin.

The Greta Gerwig-directed comedy film, which is themed after Mattel’s namesake doll and stars Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Will Ferrell, premieres on July 21.
