The sun has finally made an appearance - but are you prepared in the sandal department? If not, you might be looking for a new pair of sandals. Well, if you were thinking of buying a very expensive pair from Hermès for £730, good for you, but you might want to take a look at this pair from New Look that cost a mere £27.99.
Yes, £27.99. I'm actually shocked at this price.
I literally had to double take when I saw a photo of these shoes from the high-street store, and it's not just me, all the comments mention how "good" of a dupe they are and they also mention how comfortable they are as well. One happy customer wrote: "GORGEOUS, comfy and so so so cute! Super classy."
Designer-inspired pieces are everywhere on the British high-street right now - you can't ignore them, even Marks & Spencer is at it with its Hermès-style handbag.
Luxury brand Hermes isn't a stranger to high-street stores trying to emulate their designer pieces - the Oran sandals spurred on a million lookalikes, and they're still everywhere today. But the latest style I've seen on all the influencers is the Chypre sandals. According to the Hermès website the "techno-sandal in calfskin has an anatomical rubber sole and adjustable strap".

If your budget doesn't stretch to Hermès, New Look has come to the rescue with a pair of sandals that aren't exactly the same, but boy do they bear a resemblance.
The website states: "Boasting a stylish chunky sole and cushioned padding, these black Comfort sliders are the perfect pair for all of your summer events."
These are available in black and a light brown shade and have a leather-look finish, with rip tape fastening. But the best bit is they have a cushioned padding for a comfy fit.
It's advised that if you are between sizes, you should size up.
I ordered these for my holiday and I've been wearing them pretty much like house shoes because they're so comfy. I'll be wearing them with everything in the summer; no doubt with my favourite straight leg jeans and a nice little Chanel-inspired cropped jacket. Or I'll go for a daytime floral dress with the sandals and a cool crossbody bag. I think they'll be great for the beach as well, and if they're comfy, well, I'm sold.
