How To Look Trendy Wearing Flip-Flops?
This season, leather slippers again became popular, as they were used in numerous collections of famous fashion designers around the world. Fashion world again saw the potential in this trend of the nineties. But if you are not sure if you need to join this trend, or just want to wear flip-flops without harm to your fashionable reputation, then here you will find useful tips how you can wear leather flip-flops to look stylish.
- Combine them with the dress – leather flip-flops combined with dresses give you a more casual look than when you are wearing just flip flops or sandals, despite the fact that you look a little reserved. This combination is great for a wonderful balance of femininity and everyday life, which looks great in the summer.
- Turn pants is a classic way of modeling your leather slippers: tucked pants and shirt.
- Think minimum: leather flip flops literally personify the everyday style. It is better to keep the image minimal. Basic colors, simple shirts, jeans. Of course, if you want to wear prints, you can find those with the least volume, for example, thin strips, a pattern in little peas, etc.
- Skirts. You can put on a top on the straps, shirt, blouse or t-shirt, which is perfectly combined with the skirt of denim and flip-flops.
- Denim costume. Summer costume can have different styles and open the opportunity to emphasize long legs. When wearing variegated items and variations with a print, wear one-color flip-flops to create a holistic, harmonious image.
- Shorts. It can be bermudas, seductive denim shorts or models of their cotton in military style, complemented by overhead functional pockets.
- Pants and capri pants. Since traditionally flip-flops are a summer version of shoes, it’s better to put trousers out of light fabrics. The choice of the trousers’ style depends only on you, because both tight fitting and flared models look well.
Flip flops are shoes that allow girls to enjoy the summer months and beach holidays, so you should take care that the purchased pair is comfortable and has served several seasons.
