Fisherman Sandals: The Cool-Girl Shoe Everyone’s Wearing
Okay, let’s talk about the shoe that’s literally everywhere right now – fisherman sandals! I’ve been spotting these chunky, strappy shoes on everyone from fashion girls on Instagram to people just walking down the street. And honestly? I’m fully obsessed.
These sandals have come a long way from just being practical beach shoes. Now they’re the perfect way to add a little edge to any outfit while still being super comfortable. Win-win!
How Everyone’s Wearing Them
Looking at these outfit photos, it’s so clear why fisherman sandals have taken over – they go with everything!
In the first pic, those black sandals look amazing with a simple black top and flowy white skirt. Such a cute summer outfit, and the Loewe bag adds that perfect touch of style. This is exactly the kind of easy outfit I’d throw on for brunch or shopping.
The leopard print mini dress in the second image is giving major cool-girl vibes. I love how the chunky black sandals balance out the bold print and make the whole look feel more laid-back.
One of my favorites is the classic blazer with white pants and black sandals. This outfit proves these shoes aren’t just for casual days – you could totally wear this to work or dinner!
And the blue striped button-down with the side-slit skirt? So cute! The black sandals ground the whole look and make it feel effortless rather than trying too hard.
How to Style Them Yourself
The great thing about fisherman sandals is that anyone can wear them! Here are some quick tips:
If you’re on the shorter side, try wearing them with cropped pants or midi skirts to show a bit of ankle. This little peek of skin makes your legs look longer!
For taller folks, these chunky sandals work perfectly with longer pants or maxi dresses.
Black leather ones (like most of these pics show) are super versatile – they go with literally everything in your closet.
My favorite styling trick? Mix something structured (like a blazer) with something more flowy (like a midi skirt). The sandals tie it all together perfectly!
And don’t put them away when summer ends! They look surprisingly cute with socks when it gets cooler.
Where to Get Your Own Pair
Want to try this trend? Here’s where to shop:
For a splurge, brands like The Row make gorgeous leather versions that will last forever (but they’re definitely an investment at around $1200).
Mid-range options from Madewell or & Other Stories are super cute and well-made, usually between $150-250.
If you’re not ready to commit, Zara and Dr. Martens have great options under $100 that still give you the same cool look.
Why I Love This Trend
I’m totally convinced fisherman sandals are here to stay. They’re comfortable, they go with everything, and they add that perfect touch of coolness to any outfit.
The only downside? They’re definitely chunkier than your average sandal, so if you love a super minimal look, they might feel a bit heavy.
