Flip-flops have officially shed their bad reputation, especially in New York City. Many locals swore off them until the last few years, when they found their way back into fashion’s favor thanks to Scandinavian girls and a few sophisticated styles from brands like The Row and Toteme. However, this does not mean that flat shoes are suitable for everyone. Fashionable or not, some people still refuse to wear flip-flops in favor of other flat sandals, and that’s their right. Luckily, there are plenty of chic alternatives to flip-flops, and one particular style is a favorite choice among women in their 30s and 40s, from Jennifer Lawrence to Meghan Markle.
The first one recently wore a pair in New York, where it is very hot, so he needed light and comfortable sandals. Lawrence was spotted on her way to dinner near Altro Paradiso in Soho. For the occasion, she opted for a graphic cropped tee, an ivory maxi slip skirt and a pair of cognac brown toe sandals. She completed the look with a vintage burgundy Fendi baguette bag.
