Flip flops may be dominating this summer’s footwear trends, but if you’re looking for something a little sturdier—and more supportive—to complete your warm-weather wardrobe, a pair of trusty sandals is hard to beat. We have recently seen Bailey Buckle Sandals at White Stuff, and they’re a versatile option for everything from afternoons in the pub to summer holidays abroad.
Made from genuine suede with a genuine leather footbed, the sandals are designed with both comfort and durability in mind. They also feature a lightweight EVA sole that helps cushion every step while keeping them light enough to wear all day without leaving your feet sore.

Price for £79, the Bailey Buckle Sandals are an investment that should last for seasons to come thanks to their quality suede and leather construction. They have a classic “dad sandal” silhouette with two adjustable straps across the foot and a third around the heel, while the slightly thick EVA sole adds extra stability and support underfoot.
While they tap into the ever-popular chunky sandal trend, their timeless details ensure they’ll stay in style long after the season ends. Whipstitch details around the sole and oversized buckles give the suede straps a premium finish, and they’re available in either rich chocolate brown or a soft khaki green, both of which pair effortlessly with a wide range of outfits.
Whether you style them with flowy midi dresses, linen trousers and shorts on holiday, or just wear them with jeans for everyday tasks, Bailey Buckle Sandals is an easy addition to any summer wardrobe. They are available in sizes three to eight, with White Stuff recommending sizing down as they run a bit large.
If you’re looking for a more affordable alternative, Clarks’ Sorella sandals with strap has a similar look and is currently reduced to £50 from £70. Instead of buckle closures, they use adjustable Velcro straps for a more customized fit and are available in beige and olive green suede.
Another budget-friendly option is Tennessee suede sandals in Brown from Schuh, now reduced from £45 to £35.99. They also come in chocolate brown suede, but have elegant crossover straps for a slightly dressier look, reports the mirror.
White Stuff’s Bailey Buckle Sandals have already proved popular with shoppers, with many praising both their comfort and style. One reviewer wrote: “Stylish yet very comfortable, works with any wardrobe item.”
Another said: “Love the color and the adjustable back strap. Wasn’t sure about the black bows but the edge stitching lifts the look. Very comfortable and will be a summer party.”
With a third adding: “Arrived today, size 8 in brown and I love them. Will be a pair that I wear all summer. Also managed to get them on sale! Would love to see other colors please.”
One person said: “These looked nice and thick. But I need a half size so I ordered a size up which meant they were too big. As the soles had a smooth surface I thought they could be slippery in certain circumstances so decided not to try a smaller size and returned them. It was easy to do with no problems.”
