Indulge your Y2K dreams. Flying Fabric Shoes
When low-rise jeans and baguette bags began to trickle slowly back into the mainstream, it wasn’t long before another key player in the Y2K revival made a reappearance: the chunky sandal. Thick platforms and bulky lug soles abounded on the spring/summer 2023 runways, from Proenza Schouler to Max Mara to Fendi—though if you’re looking to incorporate the trend into your own summer wardrobe, you don’t need to spend a paycheck to get in on a ready-to-wear iteration of the style. Amazon’s chunky sandal selection hits a wide range of price points (and, for those shopping with a vacation deadline in mind, convenient shipping).
Oversized silhouette aside, our favorite designs are surprisingly versatile. Edgy sandals and bubble-like flip-flops work well well with breezy maxi dresses and structured linen suit sets alike; really, the only challenge is narrowing down your choice to just one style. These 18 options are a good place to start.
Play into the palette of the season with these pastel fishermans. The leather sole and massive buckle make the perfect foil to the light lavender hue.
A Lizzie McGuire shoe if we’ve ever seen one, this mauve slide is oversized and built for comfort. Wear it with shorts or jeans for running errands on the weekends.
Give your summer suit set an unexpected hit of brightness with these orange slides. (They’re waterproof and non-slip, so they’re equally great companions for your next pool party.)
Long white sundresses are the warm weather cousin of the LBD, but if the breezy style runs a little saccharine for your taste, you can edge it up by pairing an ethereal frock with these black and white checkered sandals.
Chunky and neutral with just enough of a platform to be manageable for daily wear, we predict these sandals will be your new everyday go-to.
From the company that brought you the world’s most comfortable boots, we present a pair of lug-sole sandals that reviewers say are just as cloud-like. UGG’s olive green shoes have adjustable instep straps for a more tailored fit.
Pair these kelly green flip flops with a long skirt and a plain white tee for an easy outfit formula you can mix and match all summer long.
These sandals may have a 3.5-inch heel, but the chunky shape ensures they’re easy enough to wear on a night out. Wear this pair with a mini skirt (micro-hem optional) to balance out the larger proportions.
If you like a bit of height in all your shoes, this option retains the best of a versatile sandal style with the benefit of a 2-inch flatform.
Thanks to the thin straps that crisscross up the front of this affordable sandal, it’s a dressy enough shoe to wear out to formal affairs. Keep your silhouette simple with a silky slip dress that pays homage to the minimalism of the ’90s.
It’s impossible to look at these daisy-covered platforms and not get a little boost of dopamine (the memory foam insole is a nice touch, too). Lean into the ’70s vibe of Larroudé’s denim sandals by pairing them with your widest flares.
The original dad sandal, now available in a summery sherbet palette. Because they’re made from a quick-dry fabric with a molded footbed, these Tevas are great for any camping trips or hikes you have on your calendar.
If there were ever a sandal to pack for your next beach getaway, this pair—which pairs a raffia upper with a braided base—is it. Wear them with your brightest dresses for every post-swim happy hour.
Part espadrille, part fisherman sandal, Tory Burch’s cream-c0lored shoes are the best of both worlds. Subtle details (like braided jute straps and sheepskin lining) make them feel all the more special.
Take your Canadian tuxedo a step further with denim platforms, a solidly Y2K trend perfect for the sartorial risk-takers.
Skip the stilettos at your next summer wedding in favor of these glitzy lace-ups, whose delicate crystal rhinestone straps can elevate even the simplest of dresses.
Your shoes deserve a bit of jewelry, too: These sage wedges come with cool chrome hardware to help them stand out.
There are platform shoes, and then there are these Simon Miller shoes. The 4.25-inch raffia wedge definitely makes a statement—it’s called the Bubble Sandal for a reason.
