Sandal season is in full swing, and this year's selection is something to get excited about. Everywhere you turn, there is a sandal trend popping up that is begging to be added to your current collection.

Ahead, I rounded up some of the true sandal standouts of the season along with some visual outfit inspiration to give you an idea of how to style each pair. These styles can be worn with just about any ensemble. Plus, they are all super comfortable, which is a major plus. Think flip-flops, jelly and suede options, kitten heels, and more.
