These High Street Sandals sold out previously—now they have returned in a fresh, sophisticated color.

      Recently, I discovered that there is a particular summer outfit I turn to more than others when I'm off-duty. It has unintentionally become my go-to choice whenever I'm unsure of what to wear and want to bask in the sun as quickly as possible. The ensemble typically includes a lovely top, linen shorts, and flip-flops. Although I consistently opt for this combination, the rubber flip-flops in my collection have never quite matched the sophisticated look I'm aiming for. So naturally, I set out to find a more refined option to complete this reliable outfit and found COS's Leather Flip-Flops (£95). I must confess that I had never thought of flip-flops as a stylish summer footwear choice before. The classic rubber ones are something I usually wear to walk from my hotel room to the beach but seldom incorporate them into my more dressed-up holiday outfits. However, this year, designers are poised to change that perception with jelly-like variations of colored flip-flops and leather styles that strike a perfect balance between minimalist, sophisticated, and comfortable.

      I have now come to see leather flip-flops as the ultimate understated sandals that fashionable individuals will continue to wear for years. If you wish, there is an option to invest in a designer pair; alternatively, COS offers a much more budget-friendly version under £100, available in three chic colors. True to the brand's design principles, these flip-flops are equally timeless and contemporary. The smooth leather and elegant design ensure they will stand the test of time, while the squared-toe gives them a modern touch for 2025. Comfort is always a priority when shopping, and this pair features a padded sole that makes walking through the city or navigating cobbled streets in European towns much more comfortable.

      With such impressive design, the black version has already sold out once and is now back in stock, along with a striking red and a new deep burgundy option. Though my search for elevated sandals began with my most trusted outfit, I am already styling these flip-flops with my summer dresses, linen trousers, flowing skirts, and denim shorts.
