Shoe brands that are known for serving on-trend sandals and slip-on loafers in the summer have reworked their designs to suit your fashion needs all year round, even in the winter.
How to style your winter sandals
Here’s how you style your sandals for the winter. Keep scrolling, and we’ll also tell you where to get some of our fave winter sandals locally.
It’s all in the layering!
One of the easiest ways to make your sandals winter-ready is by pairing them with cozy socks. Opt for thick, patterned, or textured socks that can add an extra element of warmth and style. You can also play around with different lengths, such as ankle or knee-high socks, The nice thing about this is that it creates visual layering to your final look.
Layering is key during the winter season in fashion. You can incorporate this concept into your sandal styling as well. Pair your sandals with clothing items like oversized sweaters, long coats, or denim jackets. These layers will not only keep you warm but also create a stylish contrast with your open-toed footwear at the bottom.
All the style inspo you need
A jumpsuit is a staple piece that’s easy and comfortable. Layer it with a smart jacket and finish off the look with a pair of sandals with socks.
Style tip: Keep your colour palette fairly neutral to create a smarter feel.
