The Chicest Designer Sandals & Slides This Season

On one side: the quiet-luxury minimalists — a single leather strap, no logo, nothing to prove. On the other: sculptural, almost architectural statement pieces that treat a sandal as a small piece of design rather than an afterthought to the outfit.
