The Ideal ‘Army’ of Sandals Every Woman Should Own

While the rest of the world is stocking up with boots and winter equipment, here in Australia, we are prepping for the best season of them all – summer. That being said, since sandals are the go-to fashion accessory required for enjoying the summer properly, every woman should have at least one pair from each type of womens sandals. Flat heel, high-heel, wedge, whatever… the more the better.

Flatform, Platform & Wedge Sandals

When it comes to high heeled sandals, platform and wedge sandals are the comfiest without a doubt. Platform sandals usually have a thick sole and a high heel while the wedge sandals have a broad sole which in the back comes in the shape of a wedge. The flatform sandals, on the other hand, have a thick sole without a heel which is why they are considered more casual.

For your casual outfit, you can choose wedges, platforms or flatforms that come in espadrille designs and slides. For when you want to be casual but still chic, you can opt for ones that have some ruffles or bows. All of these footwear styles can be paired with jeans and a basic tee, casual dress and skirt outfits. For turning up the heat at night without dressy sandals, you can choose a simpler version in black, brown, navy or nude colour.
