Choosing summer shoes? Flip flops should not be left without your attention! They have always been considered the most practical and comfortable shoes, and today you can safely talk about their versatility. After all, the best designers in the world long ago brought Vietnamese out of the city parks, beaches and resorts. Today they are an integral part of casual style. And sometimes they can be met even at social events.
Structural features
There are no models and forms today! It is not in vain that designers and urban fashionistas love these shoes so much. Flip flops can be absolutely any color, they are sewn from different fabrics, made of rubber and rubber, equipped with wedges and heels, they use a wide variety of decor in decoration. But one thing remains the same: Vietnamese always have a jumper between the first and second fingers. Sometimes it has an exclusively decorative function, but most often its role is quite practical - due to it the shoes are kept on the foot.
Beach season
“Flip-flop” - this is what foreigners say about this type of shoe. And in the Russian language, such a name is gradually taking root. It resembles the sound with which backs slap on the heels. Initially, this name was applied to flip flops of the simplest style, without a back and on a flat sole, but now they call it more intricate shoes with a jumper between the toes.
It used to be that flip flops were shoes for the beach. And although today their distribution has become simply colossal, they are not going to concede their original territory. Even the best shoe manufacturers in the world often pay great attention to beach models, producing wonderful flip flops (photo shoes show from the new Crocs collection made of natural rubber).
In the city
Few people today will be surprised to see such shoes in the city. Flip-flops often occupy a worthy place in the summer wardrobe. But it is one thing to supplement them with an outfit of jeans and a top, and quite another to try to combine such shoes with business and evening style. How not to get confused here? The answer is simple. If the format of the event involves the presence of tights, flip flops in no case should not be worn! They will be inappropriate at the theater and at a gala reception. But, for example, for a summer wedding in a laid-back style or a rock concert it is quite possible to go in similar shoes.
Orthopedic sole
Today, designers seemed to have conspired and brought into fashion a special style of flip flops. Those who happened to wear such shoes will surely remember the unusual sensations in the foot. The thing is that such models are equipped with very comfortable convex insoles. In addition to the unusual, deliberately rude appearance, there are still many advantages that such shoes have. The Vietnamese do not rub, and their legs do not get tired, even if the walk is a long one.
Most often, such a sole is made from pressed coconut fibers, suede and other natural fabrics. By the way, you should not think that among such shoes there are only women's flip-flops. Men's shoes are no less common and popular.
For men
Manufacturers offer many models for representatives of the strong half of humanity. In addition to the traditional beach ones, you can also find very unusual ones - sports, which are more massive than women. There are many models for the city. And Asian designers have recently proposed a new trend to Vietnamese fans: the repetition of a female model with a closed heel and a high boot.
Season trends
Macrame, tatting, all kinds of weaving - all this does not lose relevance. Natural materials do not lose ground. Leather and textile flip flops are especially good for summer. Women's summer shoes, similar to a tandem of sandals and boots, are still relevant.
Gladiator sandals have not left the fashion catwalks for years. Among others, those that have a jumper between the fingers are also relevant. They may have lacing, clasps, zippers on the side or back.
What to wear flip flops with
These shoes are exclusively for summer. Therefore, it is combined with many summer bows. When creating images, always think about relevance. For example, you should not wear a model decorated with beads and rhinestones with a tracksuit. And sports or orthopedic flip flops will look silly with a flying chiffon sundress.
Always consider how much you have to walk. Especially if the shoes are new. Even the most comfortable and high-quality model can cause discomfort on delicate skin between the fingers.
Flip flops in the world of high fashion
For the first time, Jean-Paul Gaultier brought the flip flops to the catwalk in 2002. And that show made a splash! Of course, these were not beach flip flops, but unique designer shoes. Soon experiments with flip flops began Fashion House "Dior". A little later, the world saw the embodiment of fantasies from the Chanel House. Today, too, you can often find such shoes at fashion shows. Moreover, not only fashion models, but also male models flaunt in it.
