16 Ways Our Readers Are Wearing This Year's Biggest Shoe Trend
Welcome to #WhoWhatWearing, a series in which we highlight you, our stylish community of readers. Each of the following looks came straight from a photo you tagged us in on Instagram. Want to be featured next time? You guessed it: Use #WhoWhatWearing on the outfit posts you want us to see.
I know, I know. We're currently only 42% of the way through the year, but trust me when I say that the shoes I'm putting the spotlight on today are definitely 2019's biggest footwear trend. We've been chattering on about them since last year, but just in case you needed reminding, strappy sandals are the style that's completely dominating. Defined by barely there straps and asymmetric arrangements, there's a good reason they're giving us nostalgia for the '90s: It girls were wearing oddly similar styles 20+ years ago.
We can't get enough of the sandals, especially now that they're a critical staple in our summer wardrobes. And our ever-stylish readers are with us there. They've been showing off tons of cool outfits with the shoes, inspiring us to wear them in zillions of new ways (but we're about to show you the best 16). As if we needed another reason to buy into the trend, see all the best ways to wear '90s sandals now and shop our shoe picks.

Between the color and the sculptural heel, I can't decide what I like best about these.
