If you could peak inside of any fashion editor’s shopping basket right now, you’re likely to spot a common thread. Amongst a top up of white t-shirts and a tank tops, there’s a new summer shoe trend that’s circulating fashion groups and working it way into the wardrobes of the most stylish people I know.
Styled by Kaia Gerber, the heeled flip flop trend is emerging as the breakthrough shoe of the season. Featuring a small heel and a sleek strappy finish, the emerging shoe trend toes the line of smart and casual—presenting a fresh summery silhouette that fashion people have come to adore.
Styling hers with a black mini shift dress, Gerber’s look channeled a ’90s energy that compliments the shoe trend so well. Accessorising with a sleek shoulder bag and black sunglasses, the model’s look felt aptly chic for the Parisian setting.
Enjoying a mother-daughter day out, Cindy Crawford was also spotted in Paris with Gerber. Styling an anti-trend shoe, Crawford selected a classic pair of white trainers to complete her relaxed ensemble. Skirting flashy shades and new-season silhouettes, Crawford’s comfortable shoe pairing wove a timeless energy into her relaxed outfit—whilst providing her with the comfort needed to stroll around the French capital.
Whilst Gerber chose and new season trend, and Crawford an enduring staple, there’s no denying that the two posses a fine eye for an excellent buy. To shop the shoes with the models’ stamp of approval, read on to discover our edit of the best heeled flip flops and white trainers below.
