'Looking for the perfect shoes to wear all spring? I’ve found 8 great pairs.'

When the warmer weather arrives and the new-season fashion hits stores, it can feel like you suddenly have nothing to wear and need to invest in a whole new wardrobe.

The good news is, there’s so many gems hiding in there. Buying a few key trend pieces to mix back with your quality basics can make your whole closet feel fresh again.

The key to pulling it all together is a pair of trusty, classic sandals that will mix and match with everything you want to wear. The right style will go just as well with shorts and a shirt as they will a maxi or midi dress. Once you find them, you will barely take them off.

The go-to sandal style for this season is still chunky, slightly athletic-looking, and inspired by the Birkenstock. I prefer a tan or nude shade, as it's a hue that won't clash with any colour and even looks stylish with black and darker clothing, such as indigo denim.

Shoe HQ at Myer is the perfect place to shop for footwear. They have over 400 sandals to choose from this season. Pop into your closest store to try them on, or browse the full range online.

Their range of shoes caters to everything from shoes for a special occasion or casual outing and, of course, up-to-the-minute trends at accessible prices, so you don't have to blow your entire spring wardrobe budget on one pair of shoes.

So, if you're reaching for those unicorn sandals, I have good news. I've found eight pairs to choose from.

I love the tan shade of these sandals, but they also come in other colours like white, beige, and black, so there's an option for everyone. The chunky sole means they are great for walking (thinner leather soles don't always offer as much comfort), and the gold buckle detail is very on-trend.

This is the look of the ‘fashion’ sandal of the season, but thankfully you can get it at a much more affordable price than the luxury brand that sells very similar sandals. 

The nude shade goes with anything and everything in your wardrobe. The velcro fastening hiding under the straps also makes them super fast to put on and take off – no need to fiddle with buckles.

If you’re the type of person who is always on-the-go, these are for you. Available in an impressive 8 colours, the blush hue will work well with your whole spring/summer wardrobe. 

They’re super lightweight (making them great for travel and walking), and the flexible elastic straps means no blisters or need to wear them in.

A bit Chanel 'dad' sandal inspired with a twist of Birkenstocks, too, this sandal style is on the more casual end of the scale, but they're still super versatile.

I like a design like this for wearing to the beach (the woven synthetic material makes them durable and even washable), but they also look great with jeans and a shirt. The buckles are functional as well, so you can adjust them to suit your foot width.

Jane Debster Peru Wedge Sandal in Nude Leather, $134.96

Looking for a dressier option that is a sandal/heel hybrid? These wedges are the perfect fit. Fancy enough to wear with a dress to a wedding, they're also going to take you right through the warmer season with linen pants, shorts, and dresses. 

Made from real leather, the ankle strap makes you feel securely locked in, and the closed-toe adds an extra touch of style.

This style is perfect if you're looking for a pair of sandals that can be worn casually but is also versatile enough to be worn in dressier situations. Inspired by resort wear, the raffia wedge heel is high enough to make them fancy but not too high that you can't wear them comfortably all day (or night).

Easy Steps Dawn Sandals in Cognac Glove, $127.46

These are the epitome of comfort when it comes to footwear. The slight wedge heel makes them a little more dressy, and the ankle strap means you feel super secure, which is great if you sometimes have to shuffle to keep your slides on. The Cognac Glove colour is a beautiful deep tan shade, which gives them a bit of a vintage look.

People with wider feet can struggle to find good sandals that tick all the boxes. These leather sandals have adjustable ankle straps, meaning you can make them as tight or loose as you like (hello, swollen feet from travel!), and the grid sole makes them perfect for long days of walking or being on your feet.
