OLLIE’S TOP 5 SANDALS FOR SUMMER

When summertime kicks in, it’s all about bringing a pair of glamorous and chic sandals into your wardrobe. Here are the sandals you should all be rocking this summer…
1. The ‘Barely There’ High Heel Sandal

A classic and elegant way to high heel dressing and an absolute must if you want to wear the hottest sandal in town this season. Simple and chic, these minimalist sandals really will make your outfit the epitome of sophistication. Don a simple black or white pair to match any ensemble or if you’re feeling a little daring and want to get into to that summer spirit, opt for a colour-popping variety – you won’t go unnoticed.
2. The Gladiator

Whether it be subtle elements of the gladiator trend or an extreme version, these sandals are a surefire way to bring a little edge to any outfit. Worn best with a simple elegant dress for contrast or if you aren’t afraid to make a strong statement, go bold and pair the roman-inspired footwear with a studded dress and red lipstick for an overall fierce look.
3. The Woven Wedge

Unlike what we’ve seen before, the woven wedge has now reached a new level of HOT. I’m not just talking the plain woven straw wedge heel we’ve seen come up plenty of times before, but a vibrant aztec print that is just meant for strutting your stuff in.  Team with plenty of print and denim shorts for a boho chic vibe – you can’t go wrong with these for summer.
4. The Jelly Sandal

I don’t know about you, but back in the 90′s, these jelly beauties were a childhood favourite of mine and I really didn’t think I’d have the opportunity to wear them again, without looking ridiculous that is. But the cute vibrant glitter sandals that I remember so well are back and with a vengeance at that! The Jelly Beans Squad are selling jellies made from recycled PVC and made them ‘cool’ again. Now even a classic pair of sandals have been jellied and embellished with sequins or diamonds for a more glamorous summer look. Whether worn on the beach or when pottering around in , these little sandals will certainly put a smile on your face, not mention giving  a touch of quirkiness to your outfit.
5. The t-bar sandal

One pair of sandals that will never die down, is the classic t-bar. It doesn’t matter whether you don  pair that’s plain leather, neon or diamante these are always a safe bet when it comes to sandal dressing. You can dress them up with a maxi dress and statement jewellery or down with a pair of jeans and t-shirt, whatever you go for, the t-bar sandal will finish the look off nicely.
