It’s hard to think about spring when a change in season is still so far away, but it’s easy-peasy to think about spring fashion since there’s so much of it already out in stores & online to shop through. Specifically, fringe was a big trend from last summer in kimonos & even for fall-winter with luxe poncho sweaters & capes. It doesn’t look like fringe is going away for spring either, especially when it comes to footwear. Fringed suede sandals are the perfect way to mix up your spring look, when traveling in a maxi dress, elevating your LBD, or dressing up some menswear with a feminine touch. When you’re shopping on a budget, but still looking to upgrade your style, finding a fly pair of sandals is a must, which is why the colorful four pairs below are my top picks (& they’re under $40)!

SHOP: 1. Qupid sandals ($20.00, was $38.99) in red @Charlotte Russe, 2. Chase & Chloe sandals ($26.97, was $64.95) in black @Nordstrom Rack, 3. sandals ($39.90) in taupe @Forever 21, & Steve Madden sandals ($32.25, was $129.00) @Macy’s.
