The square-toe trend has been around for several seasons, but this summer it’s taking first place in everyone’s closet. It made its first appearance in 300 B.C. – 300 A.D., known as geta and zori in Japanese culture and it made a huge comeback in the 90s as seen in the Sex and the City series. Square-toe sandals are the most versatile shoes, which can be paired with jeans and a tee for a chill night at your favorite wine bar or dressed up in a sexy mini skirt to dance all night in. This sandal silhouette has traveled the world and now V is narrowing down your search for you.
