With the arrival of Holy Week, the wardrobe begins to transform almost without us noticing. We leave behind the winter looks and start introducing lighter garments, flowing fabrics, and, of course, the footwear that marks the real change of season: sandals. That first pair you wear each year has something special, because it officially ushers in spring.
Although the weather can still be somewhat unstable, the truth is that it already feels right to show the foot and opt for fresher options. Therefore, the first sandals of the season tend to be the most versatile: comfortable designs, easy to mix and match, and with that perfect balance between trend and functionality that allows you to wear them both in everyday life and on a getaway.
This Spring 2026 is marked by a clear preference for practicality without renouncing style. Flat sandals, natural materials and neutral tones consolidate as the main protagonists, while special details such as buckles or even jewelry elevate even the simplest models.
If you’re thinking of getting that first pair for Holy Week, the key is to choose well: sandals that fit your style, that you can wear with various looks and that, above all, will accompany you for hours without losing comfort. Below, we shortlist some of the best options (and where to find them) to get this season right.
