We truly can't wait for the day when we break out our open-toe shoes and let our bare feet breathe fresh air. In fact, we're actually trying to figure out how many weeks we've got left to collect the hottest sandals of the season, so that we can put great thought into the pair we debut first. There are seven different contenders that will help you achieve "the look" this 2019. Invest in these shapes and colors now and wear them until the leaves turn, because they're going to be all anyone can talk about — aside from your sundress.
