Flip Flops for Feet Fashion

Sandals Back with a Vengeance (and a Twist)

Flip flops are summer’s hottest shoe. Again. After a huge wave of success last year, the always comfy and über comfy sandal are back, but this summer’s flip flops are more feminine.
ALDO is a great place to start at if you’re looking for a pair of sandals. Their flip flop collection features a beautiful fuschia flip-flop that is more like a mule than a true slide. The slight heel and exquisite ‘70s detailing on the strap add the perfect touch of chic elegance to the shoe, making it more appropriate for more formal functions, such as the office or a Sunday brunch. ALDO’s summer collection also includes a sporty mule/flip-flop embossed with the number “5.” This shoe is more continuous with last summer’s more casual footwear, but the number detail gives it a fresh twist, making it perfect for a casual weekend look.
RW & Co. also has some great flip-flops to check out. Their flip flops come in a variety of wonderful colours-including orange, black, pink and white-and sequenced-straps add a brilliant flash of Saturday night glamour. These flip flops are a great accent that up the drama on any outfit.
Another wealth of sandals can be found at Old Navy. Their summer collection features a variety of flip flops that range from dressy to casual. Their kitten-heeled flip flops are of particular note: the shoe comes in an electric neon orange as well as neon green. Green being this summer’s hottest colour, these flip flops are sure to fly off the shelves fast. Such bright colours are great because they add a fabulous punch of colour to everyone’s wardrobe. Kitten-heeled flip flops are especially perfect for shorter women, as they elongate your frame and give the illusion of a longer, sleeker leg.
With such feminine flip flops abound, don’t be afraid to pair them with more formal outfits that you usually wouldn’t. Flip flops look great with summer dresses, ‘40s-inspired skirts, capris, jeans and everything else in between.
