The 25 Best Minimalist Leather Sandals to Wear Forever

This summer, though, I’m making a conscious effort to really think through any purchases I make. I’ve recently done a spring clean of my wardrobe and realised the pieces I love most and turn to year after year are the anti-trend classics. Especially since entering my thirties, I’m really leaning towards those more grown-up, timeless pieces— you know, the kind that chic 50-year-old French women have been wearing for years.

And so, when it came to picking which sandal tribe to join this year, I decided to go against the grain and back to basics. Instead, I’ve been searching for a pair of minimalist leather sandals with no chunky buckles, padding or flatform soles, just a classic style I’ll feel confident pulling out year after year.
