There are some shoes that go in and out of vogue, but never truly fall out of style. For instance, this summer’s it-shoe, the Fisherman sandal. Worn recently by celebs including Hailey Bieber and Taylor Swift, this casual footwear exudes all things summer while looking much more elevated than a flip-flop.
Inspired by the shoes worn by fishermen in the 1940s, today’s style falls somewhere between a ’90s-style jelly sandal and a strappy leather gladiator sandal. It sounds like a lot, but trust us: it works.
Ahead, see how Hailey and Taylor styled their Fisherman sandals, plus shop their shoes and 15 more versions of the trend. Adding a pair to your car just might be the best catch of the day.
