When it comes to summer outfits, a reliable pair of sandals you can pair with pretty much everything and anything is a must. Most people will opt for the classic Birkenstock style, but as a fashion editor, the simplicity doesn't quite cut the mustard, nor does looking like everybody else on the street.
But now I've found my 'it' pair for the summer, and in all honesty, I think they'll be hard to beat. Marks and Spencer's Leather Double Buckle Flatform Sandals take on the Birkenstock style, but elevate it, and then some.
They're already proving popular amongst fashion's elite and influencers, but are still relatively new to the M&S site, so are currently in stock in all sizes. But I've a feeling these ones wont be around for long, just as a head's up.

If you're looking to stand out a little, but want a comfortable, made to last style you can pair with endless dresses, jumpsuits, shorts and trousers, then you may want to consider these. At £55, the M&S Collection Leather Double Buckle Flatform Sandals aren't the cheapest pair out there, but they are made from leather, so you know they won't be falling apart in the middle of a holiday, or while walking to the park for a picnic (the horror).
Their standout feature for me is the woven detailing around the flatform sole, which really sets them apart from other, more basic styles on the market. Because they're flatforms, they'll give you a bit of extra height, while remaining comfortable enough to wear all day.
