The chunky black sandal (also known as the Ugly Sandal, or the Dad Sandal) is hotter than ever this season. They’re the warm-weather equivalent of the chunky black boots we are all loving, but they can be tricky to style because they are such a statement maker. Here are some amazing ways to style your Dad sandals this spring that will help you put together cool-girl outfits in a snap.
First, get yourself a pair if you haven’t already!
Monochrome Madness
For a minimalist approach, opt for black or white monochrome ensembles and let the sandals take center stage.
Best of both monochrome worlds: Black top, white bottoms
By mixing a black top with a white bottom, it creates a look that’s a little more causal than a full monochrome outfit, but still ultra fresh.
Dad Sandals + Denim Anything
Luckily for us, chunky black sandals also look great with denim of all lengths, which makes throwing them on and looking spectacular even easier.
Black Sandals with socks! (Looking at you, Midwest girlies experiencing False Spring)
Socks with sandals are making a huge comeback right now thanks to the Granny Chic and Eclectic Grandpa trends, but paired with clunky black sandals they look much more cool than kitsch. Bonus: for us Chicago girlies it means we can bust out or sandals earlier in the season.
Hopefully this post gives you some inspiration about how to rock these sandals this year. Let’s all embrace the unconventional with the ugly sandal trend and embrace the charm of ugliness with every step.
