I Predict That These 6 Sandal Trends Will Define Summer 2020

Six months ago, the spring 2020 collections wowed us with their fresh batch of shoe trends and now that the season's deliveries are finally hitting the market, the wait to wear all the new season newness is over. While in certain parts of the country sandal season is still wishful thinking, we're of the minds that it's never too soon to start discussing, planning, and shopping for the season ahead. Which is why we've turned our attention on the biggest sandal trends to emerge from the runways. Whether it be fanciful details like chain embellishments or overarching silhouettes like tried-and-true gladiators, we studied the spring collections and discovered the following six overarching sandal styles that we're predicting to make a big impact during the warmer months ahead. To see—and shop—each trend, keep scrolling.

Good old gladiators cooled off in previous seasons, but this spring they made a definitive return in notably bohemian, free-spirited styles. Unlike the to-the-knee versions of the past, 2020's gladiators are more grounded—which we'd argue makes them more wearable. At JW Anderson, they were tied over loose trousers, a styling trick that will surely catch on among the street style set.
If the runways offer any indication, heeled thong sandals aren't going anywhere. Instead, designers doubled down on their commitment to the glorified flip-flops and continued to elevate them. Behold, utterly polished thong sandals that speak to refined minimalist in us all.
Serious platforms and sporty soles are the defining characteristics of this year's latest "ugly" sandals. And when say "ugly" we actually mean super cool. Wear these to ground a sweet floral dress or with a slouchy suit like on the Ganni runway.
Lovely chain embellishments adorned the models' ankles on some of our favorite spring runways, notably Proenza Schouler and Bottega Veneta. Consider skipping your anklet this summer and buying right into this jewelry-inspired look.
If we had to guess which of these trends will be the most worn, we'd place our bets that the most stylish ankles of summer 2020 will be tied up in one of these wraparound sandals with their dainty, barely-there straps.
Whether it was an off-center take on strappy sandals like at A.W.A.K.E. Mode or a minimalist approach as at Givenchy, asymmetry is a leading motif to look out for this season.

Speaking of shoe trends, these are the outdated trends our editors have stopped buying (and the fresh ones we're in the market for).

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
