Congrats on Making Flip-Flops Look Chic in NYC, Cindy Crawford
Cindy Crawford is a case study in classic style. If she somehow wasn't already on your radar of celebrities with great taste, welcome to the party, friends. In the past, she's taught us about her foolproof skinny jean outfits, showed off a new boot trend, and today she's putting her classic touch on another (much trickier) trend: flip-flops.
I say tricky because they're notoriously one of the more controversial shoe trends to arise. The slip-on-and-go sandals are an easy, no-fuss choice for summer, but when it comes to wearing them away from the beach, we're at a loss for ideas. That's where Crawford comes in. While out in NYC, she gave us the answer to our flip-flop quandaries by styling some simple tan thongs with a belted shirtdress, suede tote bag, and tortoiseshell sunglasses. I'd say she deserves a round of applause for making the shoes look so chic, wouldn't you agree?
Keep scrolling to get inspired by her easy summer look, shop pieces to re-create it, and see more cool ways to wear flip-flops.
