Price Tag: $29.95

Why: With all the beaded, embroidered, and adorned sandals available this summer, it’s great to get back to the basics. These handmade leather sandals with cutout detailing and toe straps are made in India and similar to the ones that your parents picked up at Woodstock. They perfectly complement all of the ethnic prints, peasant tops, and long floaty skirts that are so chic right now. Load on the bangles and pin up your hair in a loose bun to complete the look. Like most fashion classics, they are comfortable, durable, versatile, and affordable; what’s not to love? Oftentimes, the original version is much cooler than all of the spinoffs!
