Step Up Your Style: 9 Evening Sandals Every Woman Needs

Sandals are an essential part of spring and summer style. There are many styles and heights to choose from, and they’re easy to wear. Flip-flops or Birkenstocks may be appropriate for casual daytime activities, but evening events require more sophisticated footwear.

Even though you don’t have to abandon your flat sandals, a pair of heels will give you a more elegant look for the evening. Trendsetters may prefer statement sandals with embellishments or sculptural designs that show off their eccentric taste. Stilettos, on the other hand, have a timeless shape that fits a minimalistic aesthetic. They are the best option for an evening out. It’s a good idea, regardless of your personal style, to have both neutral and statement sandals to cover your bases.

We’ve selected 9 types of sandals that will enhance your evening look, whether you’re going to a gala event or a fancy date.

Rihanna loves to accessorize an evening look with strappy shoes, and we do too. Strappy sandals look great with mini- or high-low dresses, as they draw the eye up and add drama. Color-match your strappy shoes to your dress, as the “Umbrella’ singer did for a chic monochrome outfit.

Platform Sandals

Platform sandals will elevate your evening look to new heights. Even if the metallic, sky-high platform heels that Elizabeth Banks donned at the Academy Museum Gala are too daring for you, low-platform heels can still make your outfit stand out. Platform sandals, no matter what heel height, are easy to walk in thanks to the thick base.

Stiletto Sandals

Stilettos are a classic. Stilettos are a popular choice for a night on the town. They come in many colors and materials so you can find one that fits your style. If you want to wear your shoes for as long as possible, a neutral pair is best. However, if you are looking for a shoe that makes a statement without being too loud, try a pair of stilettos in a bright color.

Slide sandals are a great way to achieve a casual evening look. If you’re looking to elevate this style, choose a pair of sandals with a low or mid-height heel. They will go with anything from a sequin dress to a sleek pant suit.

Sandals with Sculptural Designs

Consider adding a pair sculptural shoes to your collection if you consider your style unconventional or bold. This style, whether it is a geometric or mismatched heel, will add intrigue to any neutral color. Sculptural sandals have a bold design and are best worn with simple clothing, like a little black gown or cream coat.

Embellished Sandals

A pair of embellished shoes is another option to make a statement. You can choose from a variety of designs, including rhinestones and bows. Choose a pair slingbacks sandals with small bows for a minimalistic look. For a more daring option, opt for wrap sandals with crystals.

Sandals with Printed Patterns

Looking for an upgrade to your black evening wear? Put on a pair printed sandals. Animal print sandals like those Behati Prinsloo is wearing above are edgy, while florals would be more suitable for a romantic look. If you want to make your sandals stand out, pair them with a dress in the same print.

Sequin Sandals

Sequin sandals are the perfect way to complete a dazzling gown. These high-shine shoes are perfect for fancy occasions, as they add a playful touch to an otherwise formal outfit. Choose a pair with a metallic color or a light silhouette such as mules, ankle strap heels or a lighter shade of metallic.

T Bar Sandals

The T-bar sandals are not only a must-have for beach days, they can also be worn on a night out. If you want to add a bit of pizzazz to your footwear, a pair in patent leather is the perfect choice. However, if you’re looking for something a little more stylish, opt for a pair with crystal embellishments. Flat T-bar sandals can be transformed from casual to elegant with the addition of embellishments and textures.
