This Is the Most Popular "Ugly" Sandal Style of the Season
As you're probably aware, the '90s have been taking over our wardrobes in recent seasons, little by little. And the latest trend that everyone wants from the decade is one that perfectly suits the minimalist aesthetic that was so prevalent at that time. (Think Gwyneth Paltrow in Sliding Doors.) Any guesses? If you're thinking square-toe sandals, you're exactly right. Thanks to the style's blunt, angular toe, many would consider the sandals "ugly," but in 2018, they're decidedly cool, which data proves.
Our sources at Pinterest just shared with us that square-toe sandals are the shoe style that's grown the most since last summer. Specifically, saves are up by a whopping 110%. We've been spotting this trend on celebrities and all over Instagram as of late, so you can pretty much guarantee that its popularity will only continue to increase this season. With that, shop our favorite square-toe sandals below.
