It’s officially sandal season and ugly hiking sandals are quickly becoming the shoe trend to watch this summer. This trend has been gaining momentum for a while: I won’t deny that when MaryKate Olsen wore a pair of Tevas outside the Row offices in 2019, I scooped up a pair of my own, though I could still use some guidance on how to wear them. Fashion contributor Jalil Johnson comes to the rescue, outlining the many new styles topping my personal wish list (Phoebe Philo! Jamie Haller!), plus countless styling ideas—these outfits just feel incredibly cool.
