Choosing one’s next beloved pair of summer sandals is a task that comes with a unique form of joy.

Unlike the clothes, which can require ongoing curation, a single set of sandals can hold their own in your wardrobe for the warmer months to come, and will often suffice for several seasons.

And while welcoming a new style to your shoe repertoire as the seasons change is certainly an exciting prospect — especially if you are in the midst of preparing holiday ensembles for a summer sojourn — it is not uncommon to feel uninspired by last season’s sandals of choice when they emerge from the depths of your wardrobe.

So, to venture into the warmer weather with your best foot forward, explore the Aje edit of must-have summer sandals for 2022.

With summer soirées on the horizon, there is no better time to invest in a timeless pair of heeled sandals than the present. Pairing perfectly with floaty midi dresses, A-line midi skirts and lightweight suiting for both day and evening wear, look to strappy styles with embellished accents and textural details to elevate your outfit.

Quintessential summer ensembles call for three things: lightweight fabrics, throw-on dresses and slip-on slides. With ease of dressing a core facet of any warm weather look, look to open toe slides for a contemporary style that will remain in your trousseau for years to come.

If you favour sandals with a statement flair, look no further than a playful mule. Opt for modern, sculptural construction in breezy, easy-to-wear silhouettes with a heel that is high enough to elevate your outfit — without compromising your ability to dance the night away.

Often underrated in the realm of holiday dressing, the chunky slide’s padded soles are primed for maximum comfort as you meander between beach and bar. However, make no mistake, today’s iteration is far from the standard sports styles of yore, nowadays boasting bold braided accents, metallic chain details and statement stitching.
