15 Rope Sandals That Channel Nautical-Inspired Style

By now, it’s likely you’ve worn, reworn, and reworn again your go-to sundress, swimsuit, and pair of shorts this season. So if you’re finding yourself in need of a style reset this summer, consider a seasonal accessory—something that will keep your outfits feeling fresh all season long. One item that does just that is a rope sandal. Not only will the nautical-inspired material give your summer uniform a stylish update, but a rope strap is also a much softer and more flexible alternative to rigid and stiff leather straps in the summertime.

They’re mostly flat (read: comfortable), which makes them an ideal option for daytime wear, be it walking, beaching, or boating. However, their material texture and wide range of colors, many of which are offered in a gladiator style ankle lace-up, is sure to be something you’ll want to show off beneath your dresses and/or cropped beach trousers this season. Not to mention, they’re a great addition to any vacation wardrobe. Tie your look together with a pair of rope sandals this summer, with our edit of the coolest styles below.
