We heart Ganni: the Danish brand has delivered us season after season of fresh, chic daywear from it’s signature oversized-collar shirts to its louche tailored two-pieces and ultra-versatile dresses, and its accessories and footwear are no different. This year, it’s tapped into some of the most covetable footwear trends inspired by Gen Z’s obsession with the Y2K aesthetic, and whilst we’re here for it, we’re also no strangers to shopping around for the best deals and finding a more affordable Ganni sandal dupes when we just can’t justify a three-figure price tag.
Here, we’ve handpicked some of our favourite Ganni designs, and spotlighted where you can similar styles for less, plus how to wear them and which Ganni garments they go with best.
Ganni vs Mango
Ganni’s padded sandals are a feminine update to the sporty sliders seen in every holiday suitcase for the last few years. With their 5cm platform, and made entirely from recycled polyester, they’re an easygoing option to pair with cropped jeans and some oval-framed tortoiseshell acetate sunglasses. Swap for Mango’s squarer shape and quilted design to save almost 75%.
