It’s been a scorcher of a summer which means I pretty much am wearing sandals every day.
Here are my Fantastic Five Sandals for the Summer:
1. Reefs Ginger – My friend, J turned me on to Reefs a few years ago and they are my go to sandals for the summer. Comfortable, cushioned and form to fit your feet as you walk.
2. Birkenstock Gizeh – I resisted wearing Birkenstocks for years or should I say pretty much half my life. Seriously, it is the ugliest shoe known to man. Sometimes, fashion wins out over comfort. But a few years ago, someone at the company wised up and started making cuter designs for women. Then I began seeing this version of the sandal all over the city which was super appealing and comes in a ton of cute colors. Of course, I had to ask every woman wearing them if they liked them and the statistically, unscientific response was an overwhelming, Yes. So I broke down and bought a pair and I love them. Fashionable but with the Birkenstock comfort.
3. Jack Rogers Navajo Flat Sandals – This sandal has been a perennial favorite of the Upper East Side and Palm Beach for years. The sandal became popular after Jackie O wore them in the 60’s. In my opinion, it’s a little dressier sandal but others would disagree as I see them pretty much everywhere. The problem with this sandal is that it comes in a million colors and since I don’t have Oprah money and can only afford to buy a pair in every color, I bought pink. Why pink? Who knows? I am sure I was in my ” I am not buying black today mood, I need color, dammit.”So the flip side is that I can only wear the sandals with a few outfits. But so cute, it makes me want to go and buy more… Stop me.
Havianas Hot Pink
4. Havianas – The cool, hip Jamaican sandals worn by Jamaicans and supermodels. I discovered these sandals while actually in Jamaica a few years ago. They are cute, comfortable and affordable. This sandal comes in a host of colors to choose from, so go wild and buy a ton to match your favorite outfits. “Supermodel, work, work it, girl?”Just a little RuPaul homage.
FlipOut Sandals with ornament
5. FlipOut Sandals transforms your boring flip flips with just a flip of an ornament. Now you don’t have to look out of place or carry an extra pair of shoes when you want head to dinner after spending the day at the beach. You just have to change the ornament and go.
What are your favorite summer sandals?
havianas are definitely NOT jamaican. they are made in brazil. they have become quite popular these days but i remember buying them for about a dollar 20 years ago.
Thanks , I’ve recently been looking for info approximately this topic for a while and yours is the greatest I have came upon so far. However, what in regards to the conclusion? Are you certain about the source?|What i don’t understood is in reality how you’re now not really much more smartly-favored than you may be now. You are so intelligent.
