The clear sandal trend took off a few years ago and I am so grateful that it did! Clear sandals have been the answer to so many of my summer outfit shoe problems. I tend to wear more color in the spring and summer but am not going to invest in sandals of all different colors to go with each outfit. Neutrals are fine but even then I have to decide which shades will go with the most looks. Then when clear sandals entered the scene, my entire summer wardrobe was easier to style! At first, the clear sandals that were available looked a tad cheap so it took a season or two for various brands/designers to put out more elevated options. I purchased a higher heel pair for dressy looks and a lower heel pair for more casual outfits. Years later, I still wear them ALL the time and recommend them to everyone.

You may wonder why clear shoes often look so great and that is because they lengthen the leg and don’t cut off the foot in any weird way. Even if the straps are thin or thick, they are hardly noticeable on the foot so the outfit is the main focus. Since I first purchased a pair of clear sandals, so many more brands have put out versions so there is definitely something for everyone! I thought I would share some of my own looks that I’ve worn with clear sandals as well as different options for anyone looking to add a pair to their summer wardrobe. Trust me when I tell you that they will quickly become one of your most worn shoes when you realize how easily they can be worn with nearly any summer look!

Best Clear Sandals For Summer

Schutz Victorie Slide Sandal

These were the second pair of clear sandals I purchased and wear all summer long. I like them paired with more casual looks because of the low block heel and cork material. In terms of comfort, these are a 10/10. I can wear them for hoursssss and my feet never hurt.

Schutz Ariella Stiletto Sandal

This was the first pair of clear sandals I purchased and are still my most worn. I recommend them to EVERYONE that needs a dressier sandal for summer that will go with anything.

Larroude Vivi Lucite Clear Mule

These are a top seller from Larroude and for good reason. I love the fact that the heel itself is also clear which makes these truly a shoe that will not compete with any outfit. I own these and can confirm they are worth the splurge!

Dolce Vita Brevel Vinyl Heels

Kiteen heel thong sandals are everywhere this summer. I love that it’s an elevated take on a simple summer sandal. There are varying price point options out there – this one is a great mid-price style from one of my favorite shoe brands.

Staud Brigitte Wedge

I added these to the list because so many prefer a wedge heel for ease of walking and comfort. The simple clear strap is minimal and chic and I love the sloped wedge that looks less bulky. I can imagine these with a pair of white linen pants and a striped boatneck tee!

Veronica Beard Clea Jelly Kitten-Heel Sandal

These are selling fast so grab them if you are eyeing them! The wooden base is gorgeous and a nice texture balance with the clear straps.

Maeve PVC Pointed-Toe Mule Heels

As soon as I saw these, I debated ordering them for myself! That pointy toe is absolutely gorgeous. Plus the heel is a tad more walkable in a height slightly taller thana kitten heel.

Black Suede Studio Crystal Sandal

It’s important to invest in an elevated flip flop sandal to wear with super casual beachy outfits as well as summer dresses. These are all rubber so easy to clean off while the minimal design makes them look much more stylish than a traditional pair of flip flops.

Tony Bianco Sabelle Sandal

This pair is next on my list to get because I have been lusting after them for so long! I love the clear block heel which isn’t too wide but just wide enough to make it easy to walk. They come in a higher heel but at this point in my life, I will probably get more use out of the lower heel. LOL

I can no longer treat the skin on my body with scented body creams and frilly body lotions. I need to add in targeted treatments with ingredients that will help to address emerging concerns like crepiness, dullness, discoloration and loss of elasticity. I’ve been testing out a handful of body care products to see which will offer the best results. I have finally landed on a selection of formulations + devices that are helping to improve the skin on my body rather than just offer surface level results. Here are my current favorite anti-aging body care products.

The Anti-Aging Body Care Products I Use Regularly

OneSkin OS-01 Body Topical Supplement (discount code: MAREE15)

The Body Topical Supplement is one of the best treatments I’ve used that really targets anti-aging concerns for the body. Things like crepiness, dullness, loss of firmness, dehydration and protecting the skin barrier. This is a lightweight gel moisturizer that absorbs almost instantly and leaves no film or residue on the skin. I use it every day either alone or layered underneath one of my other scented body lotions or oils. If you are hesitant to splurge on a body care product, I would recommend using it mainly on the areas that are most visible if you want to make the product last as long as possible. Focus on the chest, neck, arms and hands because often that is the part of the body that receives sun exposure and can show a distinct contrast to the skin on your face.

Saltair Hyaluronic Acid Body Serum

I love hyaluronic acid products for my face because they help to intensely hydrate as well as hold onto moisture for longer. Additionally, hyaluronic acid is great for helping to plump, firm and boost skin elasticity. Adding a hyaluronic acid treatment serum into my body care routine has really helped with any dehydration or intense dryness. I typically like to layer this under a body cream or body lotion for that added boost of hydration in my routine.

Saltair Retinol Revive Overnight Body Lotion

As I’ve gotten older, retinol is one of the most important ingredients in my skincare routine. Cellular turnover slows down as we age so it’s important to use a retinol product to help speed up this process. Only using products that hydrate or add moisture into the skin won’t do much for the appearance, texture and tone of the skin on your body. Adding in those products containing targeted anti-aging ingredients will really help to improve the skin’s overall look and feel. I don’t use this body lotion every day but try to add it into my routine 1-2x/week. It’s important to use SPF daily while using a retinol product, so be sure to apply a daily sunscreen to the body or any areas that are exposed to the sun.

Currentbody LED Neck and Decolletage Mask (discount code: ALITTLEBITCB)

If I had to choose one beauty device to invest in, it would definitely be a red light LED mask. I’ve been using one on my face and one on my neck/chest for the past 2 years. This mask helps to target fine lines, loss of elasticity, loss of firmness and uneven skin tone/hyperpigmentation. It’s a slow process that takes consistency but the results are definitely worth it. I use my LED masks 6 nights a week for 10 minutes. There is a timer built into this mask so it will automatically turn off after the required time needed. It’s best to use on bare skin so don’t apply any of your body care treatments until after the mask is finished.
