What will you wear with your short shorts this summer? We can't all pull off the Kate Moss shorts and boots look, but we also don't want to get stuck in a boring, brown flip-flop rut.

That's where a light and airy flat sandal, like these by Emilio Pucci ($485, available at Piperlime), comes into play. A summery color like yellow will work with lots of outfits, and since these shoes bring some of their own interest in the ankle strap and hardware detail, you can keep the rest of your ensemble simple. But only if you want to.

Pair them with shorts and a tank or a long, flowing dress -- either way, these shoes are a complete hit.
