Let’s set the scene. Maybe you’ve finally given in to SG HQ clobbering you over the head with our love of hippie-dippie Birkenstocks the last few years. You’ve gotten a pedicure. Or at least, you’ve clipped your toenails recently. You just looked in your drawer and have no clean socks.

Bottom line? You’re. Ready. For. Sandals.

Thankfully, there are plenty of stylish sandals for your toes to see some more sun this summer.

Believe it or not, men’s sandals can be dressed up enough to wear with a button-front shirt, and make an off-duty more fashionable (not just functional).

So you’re onboard with the idea of sandals, but you’ve got questions. Which sandals do I wear? And how do I wear them?

And most importantly: What actually is a sandal?

Ready? Listen up. You need to know that sandals are way more than just flip flops and shower shoes!

Basically, sandals are defined as light, open shoes with straps or bands holding the sole to your foot.

Not just grungy post-gym footwear or beach bag staple.

Which means, there’s good news for your wardrobe. When it comes to sandals for men’s casual summer outfits, you’ve got options!

The better news? We’re showing you our favorite men’s outfits to wear with sandals this summer.

Below, check out 4 men’s casual summer outfits with sandals:

Huarache sandals

shop the sandals: Nisolo, $150

SG Says: This oh-so-cool sandal of Mexican heritage is another 2025 fave with Team SG.

The name “Huarache” derives from the Purépecha language term kwarachi, and directly translates into English as sandal (thank you Wikipedia!).

This style of sandal is perfect when you want your outfit to look and feel a bit more sophisticated and interesting.

Think: a “James Bond on vacation” kind of vibe.

Slide sandals

shop the sandals: Adidas, $49 (similar)

SG Says: Don’t be afraid to wear a slide sandal away from the neighborhood pool.

The cork pair above is a nice twist on the iconic Adidas Adilette slide, and you can wear them the same way. With shorts or casual pants all summer long.

FISHERMAN Sandals

shop the sandals: Camper, $199

SG Says: When it comes to form meeting function in a summer shoe, there’s not much better than a sandal you strap your feet into.

The original fishermen got it. I bet they loved wiggling their toes in the surf or the sand, while keeping the bottoms of their feet from the wear and tear of whatever they were walking over. And there’s way less danger of rolling an ankle.

They’re the perfect way to show you’re going for fashion, not necessarily function.

strap sandals

shop the sandals: Birkenstock, $150

SG Says: Update your Birks for 2025 by swapping leather in earth tones for a more hi-vis style.

This pair in white feels like something I would have loved on the cute stoner guy on the soccer team in high school. Stylish, in a not even trying kind of way.
