Roundup: 5 beyond-cute summer sandals under $40

Check these out, too...

  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • Tune up your summer concert wardrobe with these picks
  • Trends we heart: Americana
Ah, summer: trips to the beach, lazy days, breezy outfits and adorable summer shoes! From drab ‘n’ dull flip-flops to beyond basic flats, sometimes a chica needs a li’l inspiration when shopping for stellar sandals. We’ve rounded up our five fave picks, below!
 

Fringe-tastic

These summer sandals are seriously cutting edge! The eclectic fringe features ribbons and baubles that really make a statement. Guaranteed to look just as hot with a tribal-print dress as they will with your go-to denim cutoffs. Nice!
 

Carmel Fringe Thongs, $20, makemechic.com

 

Pink perfection

If there’s one thing that welcomes summer loud and clear, it’s popsicle pink summer sandals! Try ‘em with bright skinnies and a neon pedi for color-block perfection.
 

Hot Pink Crossed Strap Sandals, $20, forever21.com
 

Go gladiatorial

These high-fashion sandals take any ensemble to the next level. Super cool knee-high gladiators are completely edgy—pretty perfect for the stylista who is all about making a statement in the summer.
 

Ecote Knee High Gladiator Sandal $39, urbanoutfitters.com

 
Right off the cuff
The chic metal ankle strap on these suede sandals adds the ultimate high-fashion finish to a basic summer staple. Perf for everything from walking the pup to strolling with your crush on the boardwalk.
 

Bamboo Bloom 70 Metal Ankle Cuff Flat Sandal, $29, urbanog.com

 
Pedal power
It doesn’t get more summery than rows of rainbow petals. Add a sundress, sweet scarf, and then step and repeat.

I really like the pink ones, but the other ones just aren't practical for me because I like to run around and play in the sun.

I always have trouble with people copying me. My mom says it's the highest form of flattery, but it's gotten to the point where I basically have CLONES of me around school! I get caramel highlights, the next week, six other girls get them. I wear a maxi dress to the end of the year party, eight other girls post pics of FB of "the cutest maxi dress I just bought!". Everyone looks to me as a trendsetter of some sort, but I just see it as annoying. I change my look up as often as possible. I even got red and blue extensions for a Fourth of July picnic, and now girls in my grade are all wearing colored extensions!!! What should I do?!?!

Hey girlie,

It sounds like you are a total trendsetter, and your mom is right -- you should be flattered! It's also possible that other girls follow the same magazines, websites and blogs as you and were planning trends similar to yours, even if it seems like you had them first. Embrace your fashionable skills and don't be afraid to play stylist if someone asks you for advice!

I saw someone wearing the Go Gladiator ones but in a crocodile print and they look a bit weird in my opinion, but that's just me
