Hold on: Did Hailey Bieber just announce that these heels are the biggest shoe trend for spring?

      With spring fully underway and summer approaching, figuring out which shoes to wear daily can be as challenging as deciding whether to take a jacket. It's too warm for boots but too chilly for flimsy sandals, making it difficult to plan for the unpredictable weather. However, after examining the forecasts (and staying hopeful), we have finally brought out our warm-weather footwear. It seems celebrities have done the same, with Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner leading the way.

      (Image credit: Backgrid/Splash) American celebrities are not often our go-to for seasonal fashion advice due to their generally better weather, but last night, Hailey and Kendall showcased the simple spring/summer sandal that is surprisingly suitable for evening outings—the flip flop. Indeed, heeled thong sandals are now dressy enough (and stylish enough) to be worn at night, so even if you're unsure about incorporating sandals into your daytime outfits just yet, heeled flip flops make for a chic evening alternative. Hailey paired hers with a classic silk little black dress, offering an elevated option compared to Kendall's casual Adidas track jacket and black shorts, proving that these sandals are not only comfortable enough to wear all night but also versatile for different styles.
