Over the past few years, we have seen a shift toward practicality in fashion, and this is seen most acutely with footwear. Fashion brands have for several seasons been bringing us sturdy, responsible shoes—the kind of styles that you’d try to run away from when finding shoes at Clarks in year six. Think T-bar loafers, chunky lace-ups and fisherman sandals.
The Row and Gabriela Hearst are adored for their discreet take on luxury fashion, and although both tend to shy away from anything too flashy or trend-driven, they have a habit of dictating the silhouettes that we’ll be gravitating toward. Both have created beautiful caged leather sandals in both ivory and black, making humble fisherman sandals the most sought-after sandals for this summer. Like Tevas, their appeal is that they are practical walking shoes and will go with almost any summer outfit.
The styles by The Row and Gabriela Hearst have been yo-yoing in and out of stock for the past year. However, the silhouette is slowly trickling into the high street too. Keep scrolling for proof that they really do look amazing with all summer outfits, and then shop our edit of the best pairs.
