Re/Done '90s Fisherman Sandal $365 "When it comes to summer, brown sandals are the most versatile pair I can invest in that goes with practically everything. Like many of the fashion set, I, too, am eyeing some version of a fisherman sandal . I like how these are open and don't restrict the top part of my toes and can easily slip on and off." - Kathy Lee, editor-in-chief, TZR See On The Yes

Chanel Knitwear Black $1,525 "My heart belongs to a chunky black sandal for summer, so I finally took the plunge and invested in the latest Chanel "dad sandal" in knit tweed with pearl accents. I wear them with everything from a mini dress to cropped trousers and a vintage T-shirt (both with socks and without) and they are 100% the best shoe investment I've ever made. Consider it a true treat-yourself moment." — Hannah Baxter, deputy beauty editor, TZR See On Chanel

HEREU Ancora Women's Fisherman Sandal £370 "I don't have any bright colored sandals in my summer footwear rotation, so right now I have my eyes on this open-toe fisherman style from HEREU. The sandals are handmade in Spain with local materials and by local artisans." — Marina Liao, senior fashion news editor, TZR See On HEREU

Labucq Boomer Cream $420 "Fisherman sandals have my love this summer. The Boomer style from Labucq combines my love for this chic style with my love for anything with a platform. These sandals are comfy enough for long days of walking and cute enough to pair with my summer dresses and skirts." — Maggie Haddad, senior strategist, social media See On Labucq

Dolce Vita Galore Sandals $130 $90 “I don’t know if it’s the platform or gladiator-like straps, but these chunky sandals are my new go-to for every outfit. They’re so comfortable and surprisingly light — I feel like I’m walking on a cloud!” — Angela Melero, executive editor See On Dolce Vita

Charles & Keith Joss Ankle-Strap Flatform Thong Sandals $66 "As a flatform -enthusiast, this lavender sandal is the perfect maximal shoe to add color to my summer looks. It has a sporty feel to it due to the materials, making it cool, easy, and most importantly: comfortable." — Copelyn Bengel, associate fashion market editor, BDG See On Charles & Keith

Emme Parsons Ernest In Black $475 “The fact that I’ve been eyeing these sleek and sophisticated fisherman sandals for a few seasons speaks to the fact that they are timeless enough to transcend fly-by-night trends. (That said, I’ll definitely still wear them with very of-the-moment wide leg trousers.)” — Alison Syrett, deputy fashion editor, TZR See On Emme Parsons

Aeyde Ella Metallic Leather Slingback Sandals $295 "You just can't go wrong with a strappy, minimalist sandal for summer.

They're my new go-to!” — Rebecca Iloulian, director, newsletter revenue and marketing See On Net-A-Porter

J.W. Anderson Chain-Embellished Padded Leather Slides $525 “For me, summer sandals are all about ease and comfort.

Dolce Vita Tash Heels $125 "This summer, I'm planning on sticking to maxi dresses and mini skirts so, of course, I need a pair of easy-to-wear sandals to complete all of my looks. This pair is perfect for doing just that as it comes in a natural raffia hue that complements everything and provides just a hint of height." — Jordan Goldberg, fashion news writer see on dolce vita

Hopp Limbo Slide $230 "As someone who walks everywhere during the NYC summer but has a little too much pride to start wearing traditional orthopedic footwear, HOPP's Limbo Slides are the perfect solution.
