The Stylish Zara Sandals That Every Fashion Enthusiast Has Are Returning with a 2025 Update

      High street fashion can change at a rapid pace. As someone who writes a weekly column about high street items that look expensive, I've noticed how quickly pieces that appear premium sell out, often not to be seen again without an extensive second-hand search. However, there are a few exceptional affordable items that brands keep bringing back due to their popularity. Each summer, Zara's cross-strap flat sandals reappear in the new-in section, and this year, they feature a significantly improved design.

      When these sandals were initially launched, they were immediately compared to designer alternatives and became the top-selling shoe of the summer. A year later, with demand still strong, it was evident that the classic charm of the minimalist sandal warranted a restock. Thus, the cross-strap flat sandal has become one of the brand’s few repeat offerings. Revived yearly, this is a style often seen on the trendiest individuals.

      For 2025, suede has emerged as the key footwear trend. It is featured prominently, ranging from Dries Van Noten's sought-after sneakers to A. Emery's popular Jalen sandals. As part of Zara's summer 2025 lineup, two new versions of the sandal were launched: a smooth beige and a soft pink, joining the leather options that include brown, black, white, and a vivid red.

      With its understated design, timeless appeal, and affordable price, I anticipate these sandals won't stay in stock for long. Rather than waiting for their re-release next summer, scroll down to purchase the Zara cross-strap flat sandals, along with more best-sellers.
