Every time I go on vacation, I run into the same problem: I pack my favorite heels and sneakers but forget a pair of beach sandals. While I do believe that sneakers work for basically any occasion, they tend to look a little out of place in the sand. Plus, do we really want to risk ruining our favorite sneakers? Probably not. Therefore, investing in at least one pair of sandals for the season is imperative. But I'd note that there are a couple of ground rules when it comes to finding the ideal pair of beach sandals. They need to be lightweight and fuss-free and look great with just about any swimsuit in my collection. They also need to look fashionable enough for me to wear when I'm not on the beach.

Luckily, there are tons of options to choose from this summer—from elevated pairs of flip-flops to comfy-looking slide sandals. Ahead, you'll find a roundup of the season's best sandals based on reviews, quality, versatility, and trends. Ensuring that you won't make the mistake of forgetting to pack a pair of shoes for the beach ever again.
