10 classic tan sandals that you will wear forever

Updated 5 years ago

Tan sandals are a wardrobe staple. Whether you’re in the city or by the beach, these are the high street and luxury styles to shop now.

Tan sandals are as synonymous with summer as ice cream and linen. The most neutral of summer shoes, the wear-with-anything tan will be your summer go-to shoe. Perfect for pounding the pavements at home or on your summer holidays (in 2021). 

The best thing about this neutral flat is its versatility. Have a bright floral dress that needs toned-down accessories? Look no further than a simple tan slip on. Or need something to spruce up your work wear, but doesn’t look out of place in the office? Then go for a classic thick strap sandal

Nailing the perfect tan sandal style will create ease when getting dresses everyday, as it’s a wardrobe failsafe. From strappy Grecian styles, barely theres or the sleek every day tan, there really is a style for everyone. 

Here’s 10 of our top picks from the high street and high end brands to shop right now.
