Sandal Season Is Approaching—You Can Count on Me to Purchase This Designer-Style Pair from Zara.

      Sandal season is approaching! Although this winter chill may seem endless, there's sunshine on the way—and I'm not just making a general statement about the inevitability of summer; I checked my weather app this morning, and temperatures are expected to reach the high teens next week. Suddenly, sharing a pair of sandals with you feels quite reasonable, especially when they are a pair of luxe-looking Zara suede sandals that I believe will sell out quickly, likely before the weekend, if not before summer.

      Flat Split Suede Sandals With Metal Embellishment

      Why do I think so? They've already sold out once. I even received a delightful "back in stock" notification for these sandals in my inbox this morning and jumped at the chance to buy them. So, I wanted to quickly share this find with you, and while it might seem a bit wild for sandals to be in back order this early in March, there are good reasons for it. Firstly, we’ve mentioned that suede flip-flops are expected to be the most popular style of summer 2025, and trendsetters are clearly jumping on this early so they can start wearing theirs with jeans in the next few weeks. Plus, the sandals themselves are incredibly stylish and high-end in appearance. They feature a beautiful light beige shade (very Loro Piana-like) and a sculptural metal detail that reminds one of past Celine collections.

      Though they are priced below £40, you could easily justify a higher price point. Often, the high street compromises on materials to offer lower-priced products, and I always check this before recommending an affordable choice. However, these sandals boast a 100% leather upper, insole, and lining, so I am confident they will last, and the genuine leather should soften and conform to your feet to avoid those dreaded blisters.

      I haven’t purchased new sandals in a few years, as I have a classic black leather A.Emery pair that pairs well with everything (and are incredibly comfortable), but I believe this suede style will truly elevate my warm-weather looks. I can envision them looking luxurious paired with white linen, dark denim, and even vibrant colors and prints for summer. I also appreciate that they feel very current for 2025 (the year of suede!) yet are classic enough that I know I will enjoy wearing them for many summers to come.

      If, like me, you are excited about Zara’s new suede sandals, keep scrolling to shop them while they are still available. I've also included links to other lovely suede sandals I've come across recently.
