Bold color and multiple textures make these flats anything but boring. Alexandre Birman Strappy Python Sandals, $295; available at Neiman Marcus stores
The knotted rope adds a fun nautical feel‚ great for weekends at the beach. Calvin Klein Sarra Sandals, $88; available at bloomingdales.com
Tassels were a big trend on the Spring runways. And in sea green, these are chic, not over the top. Dolce Vita Damita Sandals, $124; available at endless.com
Sophisticated flat sandals for a dressier look. With no ankle strap, these are sure to flatter. Loeffler Randall Lila Twisted Mignon Sandal, $295; available at loefflerrandall.com
If the Crayola color trend from the runway is too bright for you, wear just a pop of color, like these Cole Haan shoes. Cole Haan Amber Tantivy Thong Sandal, $98; available at endless.com
Gladiator sandals are more rustic this season. What better to wear to outdoor summer concerts? Pierre Hardy Multi-Band Gladiator Sandals, $490; available at barneys.com
Don't wear plain leather shoes this season. Instead, try on a pair with multiple straps and buckles for a more interesting look. Pour La Victoire Bryn Buckle Flat Sandals, $225; available at shopbop.com
A luxe flat featuring lizard skin and chain detailing, these are your summer evening shoes. Salvatore Ferragamo Lizard Gladiator Sandals, $850; available at Salvatore Ferragamo Boutiques, 800-628-8916
Pyramid-studded sandals will add a little edge to your spring wardrobe. Valentino Studded Thong Flats, $525; available at stylebop.com
This strappy shoe is a softer take on the essential ankle cuff. Think of these as the more sophisticated cousin to the sandal bootie. Nine West Mai Sandals, $99; available at ninewest.com
Slip into these Kors shoes for an easy, casual look. Michael Kors Women's Zen Sandal, $150; available at endless.com
Why opt for just one color when you can wear an abstract floral print? Available at Stuart Weitzman boutiques in New York and Beverly Hills; 877-793-4896

It's time to retire your boots for the season: Spring is here, which means it's sandal weather.

Get those toes polished and slip into the best flats around. After all, comfort is sexy.

From nautical details (Calvin Klein) to Loeffler Randall's twisted shoes, these sandals aren't your average flip-flops. Evening shoes are sans sparkles—unless you count shiny chains. And runway trends like tassels and bold colors work perfectly on your feet.
