The humble flip-flops are back – this time in sleek leather – and they’re the only sandals you’ll need for summer, thanks to Denmark’s coolest ‘It girls’ who wore them all over Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Trading in painful heels and unstable boots for accessible, affordable flip-flops to don the cobbled streets might just be the smartest move the It fashion crowd has made in a while. It’s further proof that beauty doesn’t have to mean pain. First grandma shoes, then clogs… and now flip-flops are back in style. But did they really ever go away?
Chunkier, wide-strapped sandals — reminiscent of the 1990s — have returned in full force, led by The Row’s Ginza sandals. This luxury brand continues its reign as the go-to for accessory trends that will be adopted by high street stores. First the suede bowling bag, now the luxe leather flip-flops.
Next’s £29 Forever Comfort style is the affordable buy to add to your summer wardrobe immediately. Available in both standard and wide-fit sizes, they’re the ultimate sunshine choice — compact for holiday packing, perfect from beach to bar, effortlessly chic and the definition of low-key luxury.
Time to reintroduce flip-flops into your everyday summerwear. For the chicest look, style them with linen trousers, summer skirts or a classic tank top.
