Sandals are indispensable in the summer, but when autumn approaches, we often wonder, "How long can I wear them?"
This time, let's take a look at how long you can wear sandals and when to switch to shoes other than sandals.
When can you wear sandals?
Although the impression that "sandals = summer" is strong, you can actually incorporate sandals into your outfit in spring and autumn. First of all, we will introduce when you can wear sandals and the points when you wear them outside of summer.
Air temperature and sensible temperature are a guideline
Even though sandals are worn in the summer, the timing of when summer and autumn begin differs from region to region. Therefore, when you get lost, you can use the temperature and the sensible temperature as a guide.
In general, short-sleeves can be worn when the temperature is 25 degrees or higher. Therefore, it can be considered that the average temperature is above 25 degrees in the summer.
June to September for Osaka and Tokyo, and May to October for Okinawa. The temperature rarely rises above 25 degrees in Hokkaido, so July and August are relatively hot. It's difficult to decide when to switch between seasons, but if the weather is warm in the area where you live, you can wear sandals as well. On the other hand, if the number of days below 25 degrees is increasing and you need a jacket, you should be conscious of putting it on.
You can enjoy it for a long time by changing the type, material, and color of sandals.
Still, some people may feel that the timing of switching is difficult after all. If you're not sure if you can wear sandals, you can change the material and color of the sandals to match the season.
For example, in the fall, when there are many chic color coordinations, deep colored pumps and suede or velor sandals and fur sandals will match.
By the way, sandals that expose a lot like beach sandals may give a cold impression in May and June, and may not match other outfits. On the other hand, if you wear sports sandals or open toe sandals that cover a lot of skin, you can wear them with long sleeves without any discomfort.
Use different types, materials, and colors of sandals according to the season.
It is recommended to combine with socks other than the summer performance
If you want to wear your favorite sandals for as long as possible, you can reduce the cold impression by combining them with socks.
White socks are recommended for spring. In autumn, warm colors with subdued vividness are a perfect match. Depending on the region, you can enjoy sandals for a long time until early October if you combine the type and material of sandals with other items.

As for when to wear sandals, I always wonder how long I can wear them. However, you can enjoy it for a long time from spring to autumn depending on the material, color, and matching with socks.
There is no such thing as ``sandals are allowed until what day of the month, and sandals are not allowed the next day,'' so it is better to adjust freely while considering the temperature and seasonality. When buying shoes, it is also recommended to ask the staff at the shoe shop how long you can wear the sandals!
