Island shirts, Bermuda shorts and now dad sandals, whoever you think your style muse is for summer, I’m here to tell you that it should be your old man. This is the sort of thing fashion throws at you that elicits an initial reaction of horror and disgust, which quickly dissolves into unadulterated pleasure when you realize how incredibly comfortable and content you are while wearing said thing. This specific thing is a pair of “ugly” or “dad” sandals, so called because they’re – well, they’re not exactly beautiful. But they sure are comfy. And alarmingly desirable.
The Chanel sandal has made several appearances on our feed this week.
We’ve been sleeping on the dad sandal as this is one shoe that has always existed but has become particularly popular since it has been appropriated by fashion’s power players – in this case, it was Prada and Chanel. Suddenly, we’re feeling into a lot of velcro.
If you’re still on the fence about this chunky piece of footwear, before you dismiss these pragmatic sandals completely, Look at the ease these sandals bring to all your outfits.
If you haven’t seen these on your feed yet, you clearly haven’t looked hard enough. Embellished sandals adorned with colourful seashells and pretty threads of fabric – firmly differentiating these dad sandals from the actual shoes your dad wears. They’re just the thing to wear with a billowing sun-dress and live out the (lockdown) summer in extreme comfort.
