The summer season is almost here, which means warm weather and the chance to wear sandals! Of course not every day is about fabulous high heeled sandals which turn heads. There are days when a Fashionista needs to wear a more practical, comfortable type of sandal; the flat sandal.

Flat sandals are the ultimate staple for casual days during the summer; and just because they are flat, does not mean they have to sacrifice style! There are so many fabulous flat sandal styles on the market for summer 2013 which reflect current runway trends and what is hot on the street.

Flat sandals for summer 2013 are being shown in bright colors as well as neon hues. They are also being shown in the season’s ultimate neutral; metallic, as well as 2012’s continuing trend color blocking. If you have flat sandals from last year which are color blocked, bright or metallic, you are in luck! Those sandals can be pulled out from storage and placed front and center in closet. Love that!

There is also a huge trend right now in sandals; the modified Gladiator. These shoe styles offer multiple straps which travel up to the ankle and stop. These are not the Gladiator sandals from a few years back which travel towards the knee-so leave those in storage!

Another huge trend in sandals this summer season is the ankle strap. For “of-the-moment” flat sandals, look for a single strap in front with an ankle strap in a bright hue, neon color or mint green. Love this!

I found a few fabulous flat sandals around the web which reflect the current runway and street trends. All of these amazing styles are in the shopping widget below. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
