It's officially summer so it's time to break out all the cute Banana Republic dresses, denim shorts, and fisherman sandals for the many picnics or cookouts you'll be attending! I'm super biased because I simply adore summer vacations where I can rock the cutest styles — and show a little skin! You can catch me somewhere showing off my arms, legs, and even feet (don't be weird) a lot more, which is why I've been on the hunt for some chic fisherman sandals.
Never one to skimp on style, I've rounded up the top 14 fisherman sandals I think will look good on anyone's feet. Ready to go shopping for your next pair of shoes that'll make your outfit and toes look good? Scroll on for all the goodies!
Black & Neutral Fisherman Sandals
Madewell Maguire Marta Sandal
Everyone needs at least one pair of handmade fisherman sandals, especially if they were designed in Italy. This simple pair from Madewell have tumbled leather straps and a lush insole that will your feet comfortable all summer long.
Right now I'm picturing you in a linen blazer that has double lapels, a white t-shirt, longline denim shorts, and these black fisherman sandals.
Old Navy Chunky Heel Fisherman Sandal
These chunky lug sole fisherman sandals reminds me of my stepdad's go-to footwear when he's not working. Ever since I was five, he's always worn a pair of brown fisherman sandals with basically anything he could get away with. Now, I see the vision.
I think this pair is great if you've volunteered to help grill veggies on your dad's grill this summer. Nine times out of ten, he'll be rocking something similar so you can officially pester him by singing, "Twin, where have you been? Nobody knows me like you do" a la Muni Long's song "Made For Me."
Dr. Martens Archive Fisherman Sandals
I spoke way too soon! These fisherman sandals are basically a carbon copy of my stepdad's slides!
From the color to the design, they're going to give you a classic 90s look Plus, the air-cushioned footbed makes them optimal for walking around for extended periods of time.
Steve Madden Kayto Sandals
On the other hand, I'm all for simply looking cute during the cookout and believe there's always footwear options depending on your vibe. While this pair of sandals is similar to Old Navy's, they're a little edgy due to the thinner leather upper. They also have more of a heel which makes them a little more appealing.
Nine West Cazz Fisherman Slide Sandals (Brown)
There's a chance that may want to wear something that's a tad more modern! In this case, Nine West knows everyone doesn't love the closed-toe look so they've designed these cute fisherman slide sandals!
They have an early 2000s appeal that makes me think of a time when low-cut jeans and crop tops were very popular. If you need more of a visual, think Mariah Carey during her Butterfly era.
Clarks Orianna Twist Sandal (Off White Leather)
Want to go for a lighter color? Try these Clarks fisherman sandals. They have a Contour Cushion insole combined with a lug sole that's lightweight. We love our heavy footwear sometimes, but summer calls for effortless style!
Sam Edelman Dawn Sandals
Go for a totally sleek design with these cute sandals! They look like they were literally made for all the cute dresses you can stand to wear! Also, let's stare in amazement at the double buckle action.
Raffia Fisherman Sandals
By Anthropologie Fisherman Sandals (Neutral)
Raffia is such a unique weave that I can't seem to part ways with, but I didn't know it could make fisherman sandals stand out like this pair designed by Anthropologie! Pair them something linen this summer, and boom — perfect summer 'fit!
American Eagle Raffia Fisherman Lug Sandal
You can also wear something that has more of a chunky heel like these sandals. They're great for anyone who wants to go for the stylish milkmaid look due to their raffia design. If you take great care of them, you can pull them out every summer.
DSW Holis Sandals (Tan Multi Raffia)
One of the top reviews for this sandal says, "So comfy and perfect for summer. Easy to wear and a nice neutral pop to any outfit. Can't wait to wear all summer," which lets me know they're going to be an instant hit for you. All you need is a white t-shirt and cute pair of jeans so that the main focus is on the sandals.
Colorful Fisherman Sandals
Sorel ONA Streetworks Fisherman Sandal (Yellow Ray, Pilsner)
Do you really want to turn heads in your new fisherman sandals? Make sure they're yellow like the above sandal. They have a chic croc detail and full grain leather forefoot that's going to make people wonder where did you get those?!
Dr. Scholl's A OK Fisherman Sandal (Heritage Red Smooth)
We already know that Dr. Scholl's puts the "comfort" in comfortable footwear, but I'm willing to make a case for their designs now, too.
They're sustainable, have an adjustable buckle, and are crafted to hug your foot. They're also more modern than your average pair of fisherman sandals, making that a plus for anyone who doesn't want to feel like they're fully committing to this trend.
LUCKY STEP Platform Wedge Fisherman Sandal (Denim Blue)
The same goes for these platform wedge fisherman sandals! They're a lovely denim blue color, lightweight faux leather upper, and are quick-drying if you ever find yourself stepping into an unexpected puddle.
Melissa Jelly Fisherman Sandal (Pink Flocked)
Known as the original jelly shoe, these pink sandals are too cute not to buy. The color and design of the shoe are meant to be innovative so more people can recognize the wonders of rocking fisherman sandals.
Also, this pair of sandals may or may not smell like bubblegum 👀.
