You want to be comfortable but, of course, stylish. Sandals are summer's most-loved accessory for making an outfit.

Summer is sweltering, and it's too darn hot to wear closed-toe shoes. Luckily, adorable and comfortable sandals are taking center stage to elevate all your casual and dress outfits. While in seasons past, we may have worn Adidas slides with everything, a new tide of chic footwear is the moment — with fashion girlies and celebrities alike stepping up their footwear game. 

As with shoes, a chic pair of sandals turns a T-shirt and jeans into a stylish outfit that fetches compliments. They are also the best match for summer's on-trend wide-leg pants and flowy dresses. Whether you're looking for walking sandals to support you all day, strappy or leather pairs, this season's options are heavenly. 

Chic sandals can provide both style and support, with brands realizing women didn't want to sacrifice one for the other. Whether shopping for a wedge style, heel, platform, or upgraded flip-flops, this summer's sandals bring A-game to street style. Scroll down for some of the season's hottest, and stay cool out there.
