Sandals and cuffed jeans are a nostalgic ’90s trend we can get behind

There has been no shortage of exposed toes this summer, thanks to the popularity of sandals. From The Row’s viral £670 rubber creations to Jonathan Bailey’s unpedicured dogs, it’s been the season of feeling the breeze on your feet. However, for anyone looking to upgrade the tried-and-tested shorts and flip-flops combo, there’s a new nostalgic footwear trend here to save the day.
Stepping away from the Noughties and looking back a little further, the ‘90s influence remains ever-present, from top to toe. The latest throwback moment infiltrating our summer rotation is the return of the classic sandal. Think Rachel Green popping out for a cappuccino or Kate Moss in gladiator sandals, bleary-eyed on Primrose Hill. Whatever your preference, the strappy styles are enjoying a revival among the street-style set once again, paired with another nostalgic styling hack: rolled denim cuffs.
Mid-wash or acid-bleached, straight-leg or oversized, rolled jeans add that certain ‘90s spirit to even the most straightforward summer outfit. Below, see how to style cuffed jeans with sandals this summer.
