FASHION EDITOR RECOMMENDS SUMMER SANDALS UNDER £50

A fashion editor has identified several sandal styles available on the high street for the 2026 summer season, with prices ranging from £22.99 to £30. According to the editor, fringed details and statement trends have replaced quieter aesthetic approaches in current fashion. Retailers including Asos, H&M, Loewe, Balmain, Topshop, Next and Miu Miu have released sandal styles this season. The editor notes that rope-knot sandals, flip-flops and jelly shoes represent key trends for summer footwear.

Rope-knot sandals originated as a designer trend at Miu Miu several seasons ago, the editor states. M&S released a red and white version priced at £30, which sold out quickly after gaining attention on social media. H&M subsequently launched similar styles in red or blue for £22.99. The editor predicts the H&M cobalt version will sell out rapidly and states she has ordered a pair to wear with jorts or linen trousers. Jelly sandals, popular during childhood, have returned to fashion following their appearance on Chloé's spring/summer 2026 catwalk, according to the editor.

The editor describes the current season as having "fun" injected into fashion design. She identifies flat sandal styles from high street retailers as likely to sell quickly, comparing their anticipated popularity to the M&S rope sandal response. The article notes that temperatures are expected to reach 30C in coming days.
