With this influx of warmer weather, you might be of two minds. On the one hand: pastels! On the other: a lingering allegiance to the perennial appeal of black leather and biker chic. Just because florals are cropping up everywhere (as, indeed, are flowers), doesn’t mean you have to shy away from edgier pieces.

The Wyatt sandal from rag & bone marries black Italian cow leather upper, a 4” heel, a buckled back strap and silver hardware for a look that’s unapologetically sleek. Best of all, it features a no-fuss, slip-on style.

But don’t let this sandal’s tough exterior fool you: it could easily be paired with a light-as-air, racerback jersey dress for an effortless summer look.
