It’s the most wonderful time of year—sandal season is here! Consider this your cue to officially stow away your sturdy lug soles and shearling-lined pairs in favor of sleek, open-toe styles fit for the long-awaited warm weather. While strappy flat sandals remain forever timeless, we’re shifting our focus this season to sleek heeled versions—a little outfit elevation never hurt anyone, after all.

Luckily, fashion’s chicest insiders are offering plenty of inspiration, styling their go-to heeled sandals with everything from tailored trousers and suede outerwear—looking at you, Hailey Bieber—to polished midi skirts and crisp button-ups.
Bieber’s often spotted in Toteme’s classic black heeled-thong sandals, styling hers with sleek neutrals-forward looks (and one of The Row’s latest It bags in tow). Equally versatile (and street style–approved) are Emme Parsons’s lizard-effect heeled sandals. Perfect for soirée season or a festive dinner out, we love the idea of pairing the sharp silhouette with Simkhai’s white poplin dress, Nili Lotan’s cherry-red utility jacket for a pop of color, and a Loewe x Paula Ibiza raffia bag.
Hollywood isn’t the only fan of the heeled sandal—Vogue’s own editors are just as devoted. Whether it’s Vogue’s head of editorial content, Chloe Malle, in caramel-colored Khaite heels; Vogue Shopping’s market director, Madeline Fass, in Jil Sander’s red-hot cage sandals; or Kia Goosby at Vanity Fair in The Row’s dainty pair, the summer staple has earned a permanent place in our editors’ wardrobes.
Below, discover our favorite heeled sandals for spring and summer 2026—and how to wear them in style.
