This divisive sandal trend appears to have legs.
Author:Vanessa PowellPublish date:Jul 2, 2019Updated onJul 1, 2019One of the latest fashion debates has surrounded the post-pedicure, poolside shoe of choice: flip flops. Despite being so divisive, the thong sandal seems to have won over the fashion world, with more approval than ever from fashion brands and tastemakers this season in particular.
It was Brazilian brand Havaianas that unofficially invented the flip flop in 1962. The brand put a patent on the "sole with a strap, decorated by two parallel threads." While the style has remained a staple of beach vacations and quick dog walks, it never really became a full-blown fashion statement. Flash forward 57 years and these Havaianas flip flops were planted all over the streets of Copenhagen Fashion Week last summer.
Unfortunately for its haters, you can expect to see flip flops gain more traction this summer and even carry over into the next. All this drama has caused the shoe to go viral on Instagram. In a recent Q+A with her followers, Alyssa Coscarelli said the trend she is most excited about this summer is "flip flops of all kinds." Leandra Medine, one of the industry's best trend soothsayers, has been wearing Tibi's version nonstop.
"Younger influencers are just doing what other generations did; [they are] finding inspiration from prior decades. They style the flip flop in newer and more contemporary ways…making it seem like it's a completely new item," Correa adds.
