If you ask me, spring is the season to shake up the same-old jeans and sandals rotation. Repeating the same duos can become stale, especially as the many months of warmer days (we hope) stretch ahead of us. So, with spring on the horizon and the warmer weather incoming, I’ve scrolled through 100s of fashion people’s Instagrams and rounded up five sandal colour trends to prioritise for 2026. And the best bit? They all pair perfectly with a classic year-round staple: blue denim.

Some of these sandals you may already own, some are nostalgic ’90s revivals, and others uncover unexpected denim pairings that have all of us gripped. The key is to balance investment pieces like cashmere knits and high-quality sandals with trend-led styles, so you’re building a wardrobe that lasts beyond this spring/summer season.
