The Sandal That’s About To Be Everywhere

STORIES

BY ANNA SAUNDERS

Christian Louboutin sells them for $650, Danish influencer Pernille Teisbaek wears them to fashion week, and fashion writer Leandra Medine Cohen has declared them the  “silver-bullet solution” for stylish summer outfits. The shoe in question? The thong.

Thongs are very much in the fashion zeitgeist – having become the latest in a stream (a march?) of fugly shoes to be requisitioned by the fashion world. See: Crocs, hiking sandals. (What will they come for next? Ugg boots?)

“Thongs are this season’s version of the slide. They’re modern and fashion forward.”

– Lucy Wood, stylist

The latest crop of flip-flops tend to be more elevated – whether they’re chunky with flat-form soles or more delicate and elevated, if you’re going for more of a chic-nomad vibe.

“We’re seeing lots of beautiful leathers, mainly in neutral tones – chocolates, nude, tan and even burgundy.”

– Lucy Wood, stylist

Whatever style of thong you go for, they all have a similar effect – making your outfit less dressed up and more relaxed while also achieving both comfort and style. You could probably even wear them into the middle of London if you wanted.
