24 Sandals I Can’t Stop Thinking About From Zara, Mango, and Nordstrom
It's time to stock up before they sell out.


Sun-filled days are swiftly approaching, which means that it’s officially time for me to ditch my clunky, closed-toed boots for this season’s best sandals. As temperatures begin to rise, I’m embracing a slew of sizzling shoe trends that have trickled down from the Spring 2025 runways to the mainstream market. I’m talking about lofty wedges with a boho-chic flair, fisherman sandals that champion fashion’s nautical craze, and platform slip-ons that boast a dose of drama.
To curate my assortment of warm-weather shoes, I’m relying on a few of my favorite shopping destinations including Nordstrom, Mango, and Zara. To no surprise, all three retailers have everything I could possibly need and more. And the best part of all? Every single style that made it into my shopping cart falls right under $200, so I won’t have to spend a pretty penny.
Ahead, discover a handpicked list of 24 sandals that I’m coveting this season. Aside from trending shoe designs, I’ve also included enduring classics that are just as popular—like neutral-toned strappy sandals and barely-there slides.
Jelly sandals are back from the ‘90s, and if you haven’t played into this whimsical style yet, allow Vince’s Barcelona mules to convince you to do so. Pair these with a laid-back outfit, like white jeans and a simple T-shirt.
These flip-flop wedges have “early aughts fashion” written all over them. Turn up the Y2K volume by styling these shoes with low-rise jeans and a cropped baby tee.
Among the many color trends ruling the fashion crowd, sky blue happens to be my favorite. With an inherently charming appeal, this dainty pastel shade will totally take over my wardrobe.
It girls everywhere are wearing white heels this season, and if you’d like to follow their lead, Mango’s Combined-Strap Sandals will allow you to do just that.
These flat leather sandals are going straight into my travel capsule wardrobe. I can easily see myself wearing them with billowing linen pants and a matching top.
With countless wedding ceremonies ahead, I need a pair of sandals that will go with all my wedding guest dresses. After spotting Marc Fisher LTD’s Alonde shoes, I think I just found my match.
Nothing says summer quite like an espadrille sandal. Whether you’re heading to a garden party or a shoreside dinner, these woven shoes will rise to any occasion.
Thanks to high-end labels like Alaïa, Toteme, and Chloé, butter yellow has become the most viral color of 2025. Lean into the delectable hue with Nordstrom’s Meggan Ankle-Strap Sandals.
Cherry red accessories are all the rage among the style set, and I’ll be jumping on the bandwagon with these smooth leather sandals. I’d suggest you’d do the same if this style catches your eye.
If you’re opposed to sky-high sandals, try these kitten heels. With a low-to-the-ground construction, a sturdy buckle closure, and a supple footbed, comfort is a given.
Drenched in a tasty hue of mocha mousse, these strappy sandals are a must-have purchase. Slip them on and expect to receive tons of compliments.
The fisherman aesthetic is making quite a splash, so go ahead and take a dive into the maritime-inspired trend with Zara’s fisherman sandals. They’re stitched with luxe suede for a sophisticated feel.
The “unexpected red theory” suggests that a pop of red will instantly enhance any outfit, Celebrities like Katie Holmes, Hailey Bieber, and Kendall Jenner have all given it a try. Now it’s your turn!
Crafted with a cross-strap design, these black sandals are unequivocally modern. Style them with your favorite linen dress and you’ve got yourself a summer outfit to wear on repeat.
Believe it or not, the girlhood aesthetic is still going strong. Channel your inner child with these bubblegum pink ankle-strap sandals.
Chunky sandals are having a moment, so I’ll be test-driving the trend by way of Zara’s flats. With massive buckled straps, these shoes embrace the joyful spirit of maximal accessories.
