They might have roots deep in boho-hippie but our Birkenstock flip flops and thong sandals deliver up-to-date wow. Catwalk colours and finishes mean we'll be jumping right into these oh-so-comfortable shoes.
Birkenstock flip flops and thong sandals - fashion embraces comfort
Yesterday's shoes are having a major sartorial moment as these footwear staples of the 1990s make a surprising but welcome return to the runways. Birkenstock deep cork footbeds, flexible enough to move with our feet along with natural materials and ergonomic designs have us obsessing about their comfort factor. Today's Birkenstock flip flops and thong sandals are pared down versions of the original lines that befits their new high-fashion status. Crisp whites keep thong sandals ultra-feminine, perfect for all-white summer looks with dainty drop-waist dresses and delicate cardigans. Wear plaited leather bracelets to give a shot of colour and take the edge off a girly look.
Birkenstock flip flops and thong sandals - walking their way into our hearts
If you still think retro when you see Birkenstock flip flops and thong sandals then dig out your boho maxi dress and slip into classic T-bar designs in natural leather shades. A fringed bucket bag keeps your look spot-on. Neon flip flops add a spark to denim dressing. We like being bold and matching them to our summer tees then adding jazzy ankle socks and slouchy sweaters to keep them going as summer fades away. Don't be afraid to take your Birkenstocks out to dinner. Ankle cuffs inject instant glamour into one-strap thong sandals. Style with slinky slip dresses and fun faux-furs or pretty lace shorts topped with the edginess of a biker jacket.
