Society Never Moved Past the Celine 'Nude' Sandal

And Maybe it's for the Best

By: Brooke Domer

I’m still not over the Celine Nude Sandal and as it seems I’m not the only one. Simple, sophisticated, understatedly-sexy and the only shoe I want to wear this summer. 

The nostalgia set in a few months ago when this pair of Jil Sander heels graced my IG feed. I was instantly taken back to 2018 and the inescapable grip the Celine Nude Sandal had on the internet.

Even with Phoebe Philo’s return, nothing does it for me like the OG Celine. So, I set out to find THE barefoot sandal of Summer 2024.

A few of my favorites here:
Jil Sander (these or these)
The Row Bare Sandal
Neous 55mm Slingbacks

I’d die for these Proenza Heels.

These are great too:
Neous Ibor Slingbacks
Tibi Harper Sandal or Jim Sandal

Occasionally, history repeating itself can be a good thing.

And if simple isn't your style, you can reminisce over Phoebe's fur heels (see here and here). Who knows, maybe this will be my winter obsession.
