If you’re in the market for a go-to summer shoe, might we suggest ring sandals? The jewelry-as-footwear trend kicked off with bracelet sandals and their decorative ankle cuffs. Now we’re seeing more elegant flats and heels with a metallic twist in the form of toe rings. (And yes, you read that right: The most sophisticated shoe of summer doesn’t have heels. Give your feet a break.)
Ring sandals offer a timeless look that combines the understated cool of flat, strappy sandals with the instant elegance of gold or silver. The result is basic yet eye-catching pieces that can anchor any summer outfit or flowy dress. They’re especially useful for walking-heavy vacations, but you can also wear them in the office without ignoring your dress code.

How should you style ring sandals?
Luckily, the toe-ring sandals trend pairs easily with just about everything—tailored trousers, floral dresses, and denim skirts included. But if you want a little more guidance, a simple way to include them in your day-to-day wardrobe is with a pair of wide-leg jeans, a fitted white T-shirt, and jewelry that matches the metal to tie the whole thing together.
Heading somewhere fancy? Wear a slinky maxidress and pick up a clutch—you’ll have the perfect look for any elevated dinner or summer party. And if you’re facing a sweltering commute to the office, try roomy linen trousers, a matching button-down shirt or short-sleeve blouse, and a simple gold or silver chain with your ring sandals. Easy!
If there’s one thing that makes ring sandals worth the investment, it’s their versatility. So now you know: If you’re only buying a single pair of shoes that’ll fit your everyday routine all summer long, this sandal trend is a safe bet. Shop our editors’ favorite finds below.
