As the ugly-sandal reign continues for yet another season, fisherman styles are proving more popular than ever. And I’m going to put it out there: While they’re a Marmite microtrend, I’m 95% sold. Considering the Velcro Teva pairs from previous seasons and chunky dad sandals from the likes of Prada and Chanel, I have a habit of not liking these “ugly” pairs until they’ve been around for a few months. And fisherman sandals have been a slow burner for me, with my biggest question being, Would I wear them? How would I actually style them? The thing is, though, they surprisingly go with quite a few key summer looks.
Their caged fit can be similar to loafers in the way that they work well with tailoring, loose-fit jeans and some skirts. While they’re not the typical go-with-everything summer sandals, they’re more versatile than I originally thought. So to make it easier for us all, these are the four easy outfit combinations to try with fisherman sandals this season.
