I'm devoted to my sneakers, but I can't deny the appeal of the toe-ring sandal trend. The look has already been approved by Jennifer Lawrence and Selena Gomez and is a fun way to accessorize your easiest spring and summer outfits. But because I'm budgeting for my new-season wardrobe, I'm only looking for options under $150.
The minimalist style—one of the season's most in-demand sandals trends—is defined, as you might have guessed, by a ring detail around your big toe. However, how a brand designs that ring varies widely. Some, like Free People and Zara, adorn it with a metallic bobble. Others, like Reformation and Mango, opt for delicate straps so dainty they all but disappear into your outfit. If you're after a chunkier silhouette, look to Crocs and Dr. Martens. Both the comfortable footwear staple and the punky brand have designed bold, almost clunky silhouettes that pack a real punch.
