Forget Flip-Flops, VB Just Wore the Classic Sandal Trend the Chicest Over-50s Always Come Back To
If flip-flops aren’t your thing, Victoria Beckham just wore the timeless sandal trend that looks even chicer with throw-on dresses.
If you’re shopping for a new pair of sandals right now, you’d be forgiven for thinking that '90s-inspired flip-flops are the only trend that matters. Dominating new-in sections and peppering Instagram feeds, these barely-there styles have become the defining shoe of the summer. But if you’re not entirely convinced by fashion’s buzziest trend, allow me to point you in the direction of a sandal silhouette with genuine staying power, and a glowing endorsement from none other than Victoria Beckham.
Spotted in sunny Ibiza, Beckham skipped the season’s ubiquitous flip-flops in favour of an eternally chic pair of Hermès Oran sandals (£650). With their sleek slip-on silhouette and elegant cognac-brown finish, the polished slides brought a low-key elegance to her warm-weather look that kept her styling feeling classic and summery, without trying too hard.
Whilst flip-flops have been known to swing in and out of style, classic slide sandals have a much more enduring appeal. Minimal and easy to style, they deliver a relaxed elegance that never feels overworked.
So, if you’re considering investing in a new pair of sandals this season, I’d suggest looking beyond the trend-led styles of the moment and turning instead to the enduringly elegant slide sandal trend. Scroll on to shop my edit of the best Victoria Beckham-worthy pairs below.
