6 Summer Trouser And Sandal Combinations That Can Handle The Heat
The satin, linen and cargo trousers to pair with your favourite summer sandals.
When temperatures soar and the air feels thick with humidity, your outfit needs to do more than just look good, it needs to help you stay cool and comfortable.
Enter the unsung heroes of warm-weather dressing: summer trousers and sandals. While summer dresses and shorts often steal the spotlight during summer, a well-chosen pair of lightweight trousers can offer equal parts style and ventilation, not to mention a touch of sophistication that shorts sometimes lack. And when paired with the right sandals, the result is a polished, put-together look that doesn’t compromise on airflow.
But pulling off trousers and sandals in the summer requires a bit of finesse. It’s all about balance: fabrics that breathe, cuts that flatter, and footwear that complements. Think airy linens, relaxed satins, and sandals that range from minimal leather to trendy jelly sandals. The goal? To create combinations that not only survive the heat but thrive in it, even at the office.
Here are six foolproof trouser and sandal pairings to get you started.
Minimal sandals featuring some hardwear are aplenty this season, and a great way to introduce a point of interest in a pared-back ensemble.
One for the Y2K style lovers out there, Peachy Den's Mimi cargo, parachute trousers should be finished off with some glittery flip flops and a baby tee.
Play with textures by wearing Miu Miu's patent clogs with Gimaguas' linen trousers.
