Sandal season is just around the corner (we hope) and before you know it we’ll be in a summer dress, sipping on an Aperol in a pub garden.

　　One pair of sandals that has undoubtedly flooded your socials is the iconic Chanel Dad Sandals. With over 3.6M posts on TikTok and spotted on celebs such as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Blake Lively and Alexa Chung they’re the must-have summer footwear for 2024.

Why, may you wonder? Because they’re comfy, stylish and incredibly versatile.

　　You can wear them to the office, to the beach or wandering around on your next city break, you’ve got an excuse to wear them to any occasion.

　　However, these sleek sandals aren’t cheap. In fact, just one pair of sandals will set you back a whopping £1.5K. Luckily, the high street has plenty of lookalike sandals out right now, and we’ve found the best ones which start from just £18.
