You might think they're a fad, but upon closer look, you'll find that the trending fisherman-style shoe is a classic. "Fisherman sandals are a great mix between traditional work attire, open-toed summertime vibes, and the comfort of your favorite flats," says Diego Abba, (opens in new tab) CEO of luxury retail site Italist.com. "Like the chunky sneaker trend, we think they have staying power as the ideal hybrid shoe."
The versatility of the fisherman shoe goes beyond any ordinary sandal (opens in new tab), with a bevy of heel heights, hardware variations, and color options. It also rings true in their ability to complement any outfit for virtually any occasion. Abba suggests styling fisherman sandals with one of the season's breezy shirt dresses, a straw tote or raffia market style, and your favorite sunglasses for an everyday summer look. When summer ends, pop on a sock to seamlessly transition the sandal to colder fall weather.
