When the weather starts to warm up, girls everywhere start reaching for their sandals. While these open-toe shoes are staples in summer and spring, the right sandal will depend on the occasion.

Some casual styles suit days at the beach, the pool, or the park. They usually have completely flat soles with chunkier designs than their more formal counterparts.

Strappy varieties are suitable for the occasions when your girl wants to dress up—like a party or night out to dinner. Some have small heels, though they are not as large as the ones you'll find on women's sandals.

How to Style Sandals

When it comes to styling sandals, virtually anything goes. You'll find sandals that work well with swimsuits, sandals that look cute with T-shirts and shorts, and sandals that look gorgeous with elegant evening dresses. Sandals even work with items you'd normally associate with cool weather, like sweaters and jeans, so don't be afraid to bring them out when the temperature drops a little. Let the style of sandals you wear dictate the best outfit for it to match.

The cuter the pair of sandals, the more your girl will want to show them off. Sandals typically make the biggest impact with shorts, skirts, and dresses that sit above the knee. They can often get lost under longer skirts and jeans, although they will work fine under these apparel items, too. It all depends on the look your girl is going for.
