The weather is finally starting to warm up here in Wisconsin, which means I can allow myself to get a pedicure in preparation for all the freedom my toes will soon experience!
If you’re like me, you always end up with a few select pairs of sandals that become your go-to’s all summer long. Good news - I’m here to help us all out, because I found the perfect pair for this year.
Dare I say these might be the most versatile pair of shoes I have ever owned?! The neutral color and simplistic gold details allow these sandals to elevate a wide array of different looks.
They are also beyond comfortable. Seriously, from the first time I tried them on, my feet have been in heaven. These are the shoes that can carry you for the long haul. Whether it’s a full day event or needing to withstand some distance, you won’t need to worry about sore soles.
Here are some of the ways to style these shoes for summer:
Bridal Shower Guest
A floral, flowy dress gives a feminine feel that’s ideal for a bridal shower guest. The midi length of this dress allows for maximum movement and provides the opportunity for your footwear to shine. One the same token, the neutral coloring of the sandals doesn’t steal the spotlight from the pattern and pretty color of the dress.

To the Office
Just because summer arrives doesn’t mean work stops - but you can still get excited about going into the office with a fun ‘fit. This light blazer screams summer and is a great way to fend off goosebumps from the chilly A/C. If you do get warm and need to lose a layer, the striped short-sleeve tee can stand alone. Pair with black skinnies and our favorite sandals to give this look a polished edge.

Lunch with the Girls
Make a bold statement with big sleeves and a bright pop of color. This bodysuit is sure to fit right in with all the girl talk you’ll have over your favorite fresh salad and cold refreshment. There are endless ways you could accessorize, and the light wash flare jeans give a fun take on the modern 90s trend. Plus, with their longer length, wearing a complementary platform sandal is the perfect choice.

Running Errands
No one says you can’t look cute while getting groceries and filling up your car with gas! The difference is you don’t want an outfit that interferes with efficiency and necessity. Biker shorts are a great staple that can be jazzed up with a fashionable, trendy oversized tee. Throw on a jean jacket, some light jewelry, and the most comfy sandals (like we’ve already established!) for a put-together yet effortless look.

Date Night
We’re feeling feisty for date night! This off-the-shoulder romper is elegant yet fun. The sleeves offer your arms light coverage for when the sun goes down, and wait for it… it has pockets! Top it off with classic leopard print and elevated, subtle accents (like gold details on your choice of footwear!) for a moody, flirty vibe that will carry you wherever the night goes.

There you have it! Five looks that range across a variety of styles, all with the same timeless pair of shoes. Let me know if you find a sandal that eclipses the function and versatility of the BIGMONA Natural Raffia Platform Sandals by Steve Madden. For now, I’ll crown this one my “it” sandal of summer!
