This Carrie Bradshaw-Approved Summer Sandal Is Making a Comeback

Summer style calls for shorter hemlines, breezy fabrics, and a selection of open-toed sandals that let your pedi shine. This season, a throwback trend has emerged that might be more than familiar to '90s fashion devotees — square-toed sandals. Not only are they legit taking over Instagram, but we have a feeling Carrie Bradshaw would approve too since the angular shape dominated the early seasons of SATC. Swipe through for proof and every pair you should shop.

Sexy, sassy, and slip dress-ready, these stylin' steppers are about to put your beloved Birks out of business. Swipe through to meet your future sandal sole mate. (Photo via Tom Kingston/WireImage)
