If you’re emerging from lockdown in a bit of a style rut, we know the perfect footwear trend to get you back on your feet: the chunky sandal. Popping up all over our feeds in recent weeks thanks to our favourite influencers, the chunky sandal elevates any look from the feet up. You’ll want to walk a mile in these shoes—and for good reason. Not only is the style chic, it’s comfortable. Pro tip: Do as we do and style yours with an anklet and the perfect summer suit. Ahead, more styling inspiration and the hottest pairs of chunky sandals to shop before this season sets sail.

Glad I got some shots of this look from the other night, tap for creds and peep my amazing man very concentrated in the mirrored doors 🥰 I always take my outfit shots right when I arrive somewhere so that I don’t have to think about it later on.. it’s the way I get to relax and enjoy myself while also feeling like I accomplished something. He’s such a good sport about helping me and sometimes even gets really into it!
