Having completed a bachelor’s in classical studies, I’m obliged to like this season’s gladiator sandals however outlandish some pairs may be. But if you’re worried that this trend won’t live to see another summer, then take a look at these more delicate sandals that are fit for a goddess.

Available in three shining shades, these Jovialgrin sandals from Nine West are the perfect combination of daring dazzle and truly classic style. They’re the perfect choice when you don’t want to weigh down an ethereal gown or flirty skirt.

Don’t worry, these treasures are surprisingly affordable. Originally listed for $89.95, they’re now $31.48-$44.98 — and they qualify for Amazon.com’s Super Saver Shipping. But get them while you can because this deal won’t last forever.
