21 Red-Hot Sandals For Instant Outfit Gratification (Thank Us Later)

Marisa Tom — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 05:10:19 PDT

Our latest shoe - rather, shoe color - obsession may not exactly fall into this season's lighter, brighter palette, but it certainly does make a serious case for red's unequivocal statement-making power. It boils down to this: we love the idea of sticking to the outfit basics (we're talking white tee and denim cutoffs here). So, when one accessory can do all the work, that's kind of like styling nirvana - herein lies the appeal of a great red sandal.

Whether the shoe be flat-soled and adorned with the bare two-strap minimum or come complete with a chunky platform and sexier lace-up details, the idea is to turn heads with one fell swoop of standout red and a cool silhouette to match. And let us remind you that these sandals were made to be worn for day and night. So, if this weekend's brunch calls for a red-hot pick-me-up, then look no further than our picks - at every heel height and price point - below.
