The map of trendy low – or flat – sandals to show off in summer 2026, at the beach or in the city, even for special occasions. Trendy low sandals to show off for your summer looks, morning and evening, on holiday or in the city
Flat sandals continue to be the go-to shoe for summer 2026. While until a few seasons ago they were considered a purely practical choice, today they have become an accessory capable of defining a look as much as a bag or piece of jewelry. The Spring/Summer 2026 runways confirm this: from the most essential silhouettes to embellished versions, including models in raffia, woven leather, and jeweled details, flat sandals effortlessly pair with maxi dresses, tailored suits, micro shorts, and light skirts, accompanying your summer wardrobe from morning to night.
More than a single trend, summer 2026 brings together diverse tastes and aesthetics. Some continue to favor clean, minimalist lines, others choose retro-inspired styles, and those who focus on textures, weaves, and appliques that transform even the simplest sandal into the centerpiece of the look.
If you’re looking for a new pair of flat sandals to add to your shoe rack, here’s a list of the trending styles worth investing in for summer 2026—even for when you return to work in September.
Flip-flops
Not your typical flip-flops: the minimalist trend for summer 2026 is to pair flip-flops with every look, from shorts to skirts (both long and midi), to dresses of all kinds, both elegant and casual. Extremely comfortable and with a minimalist design, these shoes leave your feet completely free, perfect for going to the beach or strolling around the city, even on the hottest days.
Jewel sandals
If you think details make the difference in the clothes and accessories you wear, then jeweled sandals are the style to add to your shoe rack for summer 2025: from ring-toe styles to those with colorful stone appliques, these elegant sandals can prove to be the perfect alternative to heels, to transform even the most refined day (and evening) looks.
Jelly sandals
Fun and extremely comfortable (as well as cool), jelly sandals were the unexpected stars of the Spring/Summer 2026 fashion shows, including Chloé: from flip-flops to fisherman styles, bright or transparent, just choose the one that’s right for you.
“Closed” sandals
The great return of cage sandals, characterised by straps and weaves that wrap around the foot – just like a cage: there is no shortage of minimalist versions, with essential lines and thin straps, in black or in neutral shades, from nude to ivory.
Slide sandals
Slide sandals are a summer staple, and season after season, they come in a variety of trendy shades (and fabrics): from classic colors like black and brown to more contemporary ones, they pair well with jeans and dresses of all kinds.
