Step Into Summer With These Simple Denim Sandals

If there's one thing we can learn about this current minimalist moment, it's that not all accoutrements need to make a statement. It's one of the reasons why we dig the simple, affordable, and always on-point footwear by Marais USA, which now proudly calls LA its home turf.

We'll be traipsing to our next summer picnic or pool party in the Paris-meets-New York brand's classic Jelly sandal in denim, which features delicate straps and a 1/2" heel. Available in nude, gingham, sorbet orange, and other beach-ready hues, these sandals run a half-size small, so be sure to size up.
