Apart from their incredibly cool auras and ultra-private personal lives, what else do Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, Zoë Kravitz, and the Olsen twins have in common? A passion for flip-flops among women.
These thong-shaped shoes aren’t often the thing that people are dying to get in the constantly changing fashion environment. To begin with, they are only available for a few seasons per year. They are not acceptable in all dress codes. Furthermore, they are unquestionably straightforward, if not boring. However, the status of this traditional beachwear item is shifting this summer. We can blame the aforementioned It girls for the newfound fashionable reputation that flip-flops for women have gained.
For instance, The Row, a brand owned by the Olsens, just introduced a Beach flip-flop that is typified by its minimalism. Tastemakers like the Jenner sisters and Kravitz have embraced the style, which is an unmistakable tribute to the creators’ own love of the basic summer shoe. Their coveted elegant outings are made even more effortless by the choice of simple footwear.
Bessette Kennedy’s sleek ’90s style has gained new admiration, coinciding with the shoe’s increased A-list recognition. As sophisticated staples and effortlessly stylish pieces take center stage in fashion, women’s flip-flops have evolved into a status symbol of their own. You can question, what’s changed about them now. Really nothing, and that’s the whole idea.
The traditional flip-flop is nothing new. It lacks originality. Not to, say, shake things up, is its recurring position in the fashion environment, unlike bubble hems or Bermuda shorts. Nope, the simple slide is utterly uncomplicated and deliciously simplistic. And as the most popular girls in pop culture demonstrate, that can be a really good thing.
How women should wear flip-flops these days
The allure of flip-flops for ladies lies in their effortlessly adaptable style, which can be worn with both casual and creative ensembles. Wear them with a baggy suit for a stylish yet laid-back look. For maximum effortlessness, pair them with a flowy skirt that falls below the knee. Choose a pair with an oversized silhouette that makes a statement on its own to create a simple yet eye-catching ensemble.
When you stop to consider it, the flip-flop is the epitome of understated luxury. Flip-flops are worth giving another thought as a polished wardrobe essential because of their understated elegance and subdued confidence. Even if The Row’s product is a celebrity favorite, there are many inexpensive methods to follow the trend.
