One of the most controversial fashion trends for summer 2019 is the return of chunky sandals. Call them what you will, sandals, dad sandals or “dandals”, they are back to add a bit of fun to your casual summer outfit. From Chanel sandals to River Island, there’s a pair for everyone but most of you have messaged me saying you don’t actually know HOW to wear them! So, if you’re looking to update your cute weekend outfit and add in a pair of chunky summer sandals, then here are three tips to get you there:

1. Ditch the jeans, pair your sandals with…
Skirts or shorts! Sandals like these can have a bit of a masculine feel to them so styling them with feminine pieces like maxi skirts, flowy dresses and shorts makes them way more wearable and stylish.

2. Keep your accessories ladylike
When going for SUCH a casual pair of shoes, try to elevate your outfit by keeping your other accessories elegant. Think top handle bags, gold jewellery and elegant sunglasses! Those sandals will be way cooler than when your dad wore them.

3. Take them everywhere…
The best part of chunky sandals is that they can work anywhere! Don’t abandon them on your next summer vacation because they pair perfectly with your favourite bikinis and swimsuits! Otherwise, wear them to brunch with some chic trousers and a t-shirt for a simple yet cool look!
