How to Style Fisherman Sandals

Fisherman sandals are having a moment and I am here for it. They’re perfect for the warmer months, with their open-toe design and breathable materials and they are definitely seeing their moment in the spotlight on social media. I always viewed them as either a kids’ sandal or a ‘mom’ sandal, but after getting a few pairs, I found fun ways to style them that don’t feel simple or dated!

Keep it Simple

When it comes to styling fisherman sandals, less is often more. These sandals have a lot of personality, so you don’t need to go overboard with the rest of your outfit. Opt for simple, understated pieces that won’t compete with your footwear. Think classic denim shorts, a plain t-shirt, or a breezy sundress.

Mix and Match

Fisherman sandals can be paired with a wide range of styles. Don’t be afraid to mix and match different pieces to create a unique and eye-catching look. Try pairing them with a flowy maxi dress, a printed jumpsuit, or cropped wide-leg trousers. Experiment with different textures and fabrics to find a combination that works for you. I love the look of chunky platform sandals with a flowy maxi dress or loose trousers!

Accessorize Wisely

Accessories can make or break an outfit, especially when it comes to fisherman sandals. Keep your accessories simple and streamlined to avoid overwhelming your look. Opt for delicate jewelry, a woven hat, or a lightweight scarf to add a touch of sophistication to your outfit.

Play with Colors

Fisherman sandals are often associated with earthy tones and neutral colors, but this doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun with your footwear. Try pairing your sandals with bold, vibrant colors to create a striking contrast. You can also experiment with different shades of the same color to create a cohesive and polished look. I loved pairing a fun pair of green glitter sandals with a similar shade jacket over a black dress!

Dress them Up or Down

One of the great things about fisherman sandals is their versatility. They can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For a more casual look, pair them with denim shorts and a simple t-shirt. To dress them up, try wearing them with a flowy midi dress and a statement necklace.

    I love the black pair you’re wearing in the first two photos (or are they two different styles?). May I ask where they’re from?
