With summer on the horizon, we can all look forward to the promise of bright mornings, light nights, and outdoor events. But the start of a new season brings with it the need for a new wardrobe. Your summer wardrobe is all about bright colours, floaty styles, and cool outfits. But whether you prefer summer jumpsuits or a cute top with shorts, you may struggle to know how to wear chunky sandals fashionably.
Styling chunky sandals doesn’t have to be a challenge, especially not with this cheat sheet of styling tips from the fashion experts at EGO. Read on to find the perfect outfits to wear with chunky sandals this summer.
How to style chunky sandals
Summer dresses
Whether you prefer a maxi or midi-style summer dress, a pair of chunky sandals is the perfect footwear option. Got a night out with the girls planned? Or maybe you’re looking for the perfect daytime outfit for a full day of shopping? Either way, summer dresses look great with a pair of sandals.
You can’t get much better than a casual summer outfit made up of a pretty floaty summer dress and a pair of sandals. Not only do they look great but they’re comfortable to wear and will serve serious outfit envy.
Worried about feeling a bit chilly once the evening starts? Add a denim jacket or nude sweatshirt draped over your shoulders to make the outfit even more versatile.
Tops and shorts combo
One of the most popular go-to summer outfits is the reliable top and shorts combo. Whatever the occasion, you can keep it casual or dress it up with the footwear and accessories you team with it.
If you’re looking for a super comfy day outfit, then wear it with a pair of flatform sandals. But, if you’re looking to level up the outfit a bit, then simply add some strappy block heels.
Whether you’re heading for a night out or have a summer evening date with your significant other, a top and shorts combo is the answer to your fashion prayers.
Statement jackets
Many people make the mistake of assuming that their chunky sandals can only come out of the wardrobe when it’s hot and sunny outside. But in reality, there are many different options for what to wear with chunky sandals.
For example, if you’re heading to a wedding or special event, then you may decide that sandals are the perfect footwear choice for you.
Looking for an outfit that will help you stand out from the crowd? Be sure to invest in a statement jacket. Not only do they look great with sandals, but they’re also great if it gets a bit chilly once the sun goes down.
Statement jackets are a fashion staple for your wardrobe as they’re versatile and can transform any outfit. They’re great to wear across different seasons and can shake up outfits so that you can transform old looks into new ones.
It’s good fashion sense and it’s good for the planet!
Jumpsuits
For the ultimate fashion statement, we recommend wearing chunky sandals with jumpsuits.
Whether you prefer a jumpsuit that’s cropped or wide-leg, colourful or nude, chunky sandals are the perfect accompaniment. The great thing about jumpsuits is that they can be dressed up or down for any occasion and are super comfy.
Of course, no outfit with chunky sandals is complete without some statement jewellery and a clutch bag, and this is exactly what your jumpsuit look needs.
Jeans, jeans, jeans
While it may not be an obvious way to style chunky sandals, they can offer a dramatic pairing when worn with denim jeans. Jeans and sandals have become a popular trend in recent years and will look a whole lot more purposeful than you intend. Jeans worn with sandals are a great way to achieve that effortlessly chic look.
Of course, jeans and sandals are quite different to the usual trainer and jeans combo that you might be used to. But it definitely adds a dramatic edge to an otherwise plain and simple outfit.
If you prefer wide-leg jeans, then you can create a cool girl look and chic silhouette from a casual outfit without having to try too hard. Looking to create a 90s or early 00s look? Add some straight-leg cargo trousers and chunky wide-strap sandals and you’re good to go. But don’t worry if you’re a creature of habit and want to stick to your skinny jeans, some flatform sandals will make the perfect footwear pairing.
No matter what the occasion or the type of look you’re going for, a pair of chunky sandals is one of the most versatile footwear options you can have at your disposal. Be sure to level up your looks by checking out the latest offerings at EGO.
