8 Beach and Pool-Approved Sandals

]

Speaking of summer, what comes to your mind first? Is it the sound of waves, the touch of the beach, or cool and refreshing breezes by the pool? No matter what, in this season, you deserve a nice and chill rest by either beach or pool. A swimsuit is essential, but a pair of chic, functional sandals is also the key to add more vigor to your beach/pool look. Too many styles to pick? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Giuseppe Zanotti - Amira ($1,695)

Born in 2005 and revived in copper-colored laminated leather with the metal ‘‘Amira’’ accessory, this luxurious pair transcends time and space. Crafted by hand, a set of chains composed of ornamental jewels, crystals and beadwork, each pair is intricate and unique. Reflecting sunlight, Amira will surely spark your summer.

The Attico - Atena ($549)

Are you looking for a pair of basic sandals with some cute bizarre elements? If so, you can’t miss out on this mirrored iridescent silver leather flat thong. With contrasting lining, it is made with 100% goat leather. Give your feet a good treat while immersing in cyberpunk vibes.

Valentino Garavani - Vlogo Signature Flat Calfskin Slide ($670)

Valentino extols contemporary yet timeless beauty. These slides are an example. With the VLogo signature embellishment covered in leather, the design is simple and divine, conveying an old-school elegance.

The Row - Constance Flat Sandals in Leather ($760)

Minimalists, this is gonna be your sandal of the year. Slim, asymmetric straps that interestingly frame the foot while creating a barely-there effect, this is a must-have pair to go with either floral or plain looks.

Camper - Kobarah ($155)

If you’re a big fan of unconventional styles, this pair of sandals is your choice. The name gives it away: It’s a style inspired by cobras. The sandal wraps itself around your feet like a snake. Iconoclastic in a modern way, let these sandals be the finishing touch on your look. And did you know they’re made of 100% EVA, recyclable mono-material?

Ancient Greek - Charisma ($255)

Being cool and comfortable is Ancient Greek’s specialty. The cushioned footbeds elevate the minimal silhouette while accentuating your leg length, giving your body a more defined look. Made from chemical-free natural tan leather, embellished with classic round toes, this pair is a forever friend with both beach and daily look.

Dior - The Dway Slide ($730)

Ladies, did Dior get you? When Dior duplicates the gray Dior Oblique embroidered canvas with a ‘Christian Dior’ signature from The Dior Book Tote to slides, this time, no matter if you want a match for your tote or embellish yourself with the delicate design, you have one more item on your shopping list. Featuring a Check’s Dior motif, this pair is another emblematic and timeless pick for your summer.

Fendi - Vertigo Satin Slides ($750)

Wide-band satin with brown and tobacco-colored FF motif, gold-finish logo stopper and drawstring, when a classic style meets with the playful details, the design certainly puts a fresh creative spin on the Fendi style codes. A different and memorable summer starts with these slides.

Keke Palmer turned up the glamour in Los Angeles yesterday when she arrived for an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

While discussing her Emmy-nominated role in “Turnt Up With the Taylors” with guest host Sean Hayes, Palmer wore a golden Georges Chakra ensemble that was extra dramatic. Her look featured a gold crop top and midi skirt covered in gold sequins. The top was also festooned in dark gold feathers, while a matching accent flowed from her skirt’s hem. The “Nope” star and her stylist Seth Chernoff let the dress make the greatest statement, pairing it with small silver hoop earrings and a delicate chain bracelet.

When it came to shoes, the “Scream Queens” star wore a pair of equally sparkly sandals by Sarah Flint. Her now-sold out Perfect sandals featured supportive toe and ankle straps, as well as 4-inch heels. Their gunmetal lamé added even more glitz to Palmer’s ensemble, while coordinating in a dazzling effect from their glittering texture. Similar colors of the style retail for $385 on Sarah Flint’s website.

Matching sets have become one of the year’s greatest styling hacks, due to their effortless nature. The maneuver involves pairing pieces in the same colors, prints, or textures to create a streamlined look. Many pieces, like Palmer’s couture crop top and skirt, are made to be worn together to make a greater statement. Whether it’s dressy or casual, stars like Olivia Culpo, Nicky Hilton and Lori Harvey have all been spotted in coordinating tops and bottoms from brands like Burberry, Prabal Gurung and Cupshe in recent weeks.

For footwear, Palmer often gravitates towards pointed-toe pumps and sleek sandals by Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Dior and Giuseppe Zanotti, among numerous top brands. The actress chooses more casual styles for her off-duty looks, regularly wearing sneakers by Vans and Nike. However, she’s also a supporter of independent designers like Isa Tapia and Jerome C. Rousseau, and can even be seen in affordable brands like Chiara Ferragni and ShoeDazzle.

When it came to shoes, the “Underworld” star chose a pair of gold platform sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti. The now sold-out Betty style features 4.7-inch block heels, as well as adjustable ankle straps and knotted toe straps. When paired with Beckinsale’s costume, her ensemble went from gladiator-like to purely glamorous.

Platform sandals are on the rise at the moment, now that in-person events and nightlife have resumed. The style’s added height boost, plus security from thicker heels and ankle straps, have made them a go-to shoe in a variety of colors and finishes. Stars like Jennifer Lopez, Sofia Vergara and Cynthia Nixon have worn pairs by Christian Louboutin, Gianvito Rossi and Gucci in recent weeks. Beckinsale’s also a fan of the style — in fact, she wore the same gold Zanotti sandals to celebrate Independence Day last month.

On the red carpet, however, Beckinsale regularly dons glamorous platform sandals and pointed-toe pumps from top brands like Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weitzman and Christian Louboutin. She also has strong footing in the fashion world, regularly appearing in front rows for top brands like Moschino, Christian Dior and Giambattista Valli, among others.
