Flip-flops, the stars’ must-have accessories
Zendaya, Jennifer Lawrence, Zoë Kravitz, Dakota Johnson and, of course, Hailey Bieber… Today’s most iconic it-girls and actresses all seem to have definitively fallen for flip-flops. And, it has to be said, so have we.
While heeled flip-flops were the number one favorite last year, it is now the flat version that has taken the spotlight, to the point of becoming the ideal mid-season shoe. Almost embraced by everyone, flip-flops are more than ever ready to fully express their fashion potential.
Where to find the perfect pair of flip-flops for sunny days
Timeless rubber designs
Rubber flip-flops, available in every colour possible, are essential pieces both at the beach and in the city. For the more daring ones, this season calls for turning to the Melissa x Diesel collaboration, or even taking a look at Crocs. No need to worry, for the more understated among us who prefer classic pieces, Ancient Greek Sandals and Havaianas offer flat, minimalist, lightweight, and ultra-comfortable designs. Just timeless.
Flip-flops designed by big names in fashion
Barbie pink at Versace to thick, inflatable-like rubber at Loewe, or studded signature Rockstud design at Valentino… The biggest fashion houses have also embraced flip-flops, clearly determined to mix comfort with style. Even Chanel fell for it.
Heeled flip-flops to go up in style
To be at the height of chic this summer, flip-flops are literally stepping up onto heels. While the German brand Aeyde offers effective ecru leather flip-flops, designer Amina Muaddi delivers utterly covetable crocodile-effect leather designs. And for an even more luxurious look, this season calls for a pair with GG canvas by Gucci, of course.
Leather flip-flops for a minimalist summer
According to Kendall Jenner, leather flip-flops are shaping up to be the season’s key footwear. Our favorite? The fringed model by Proenza Schouler, closely followed by sandals style spotted at Vagabond. More than ever this summer, an impeccable pedicure is a must to do justice to the now-essential pair of flip-flops.
