Not a Fan of Flip-Flops? This Closed-Toe Option Elevates Your Jeans Style.
As a trend analyst, I can't help but notice the prevalence of flip-flops everywhere I turn. From rubber styles perfect for Euro-summer beach outings to chic leather designs with kitten heels, it's nearly impossible to be in any fashion setting without encountering this season’s go-to sandal. That's why I pay extra attention when someone chooses an alternative. This weekend, Dua Lipa did just that by opting for a different style for the World Cup final. She paired her straight-leg jeans with a polished alternative to the typical flip-flop, which I find to be even more refined.
Her footwear featured a classic snakeskin finish in a low-heeled, closed-toe design that added sophistication to her otherwise laid-back look. She balanced the elegant shoes with relaxed straight-leg jeans, a white halterneck top, and a white baseball cap. She carried Chanel's 25 bag tucked under her arm, with her husband Callum Turner walking alongside her.
While leopard print has seen much popularity and cow print has had its moment, snakeskin has not become overexposed. It retains a timeless charm, making it just as relevant now as it has always been. So, if you’re not convinced by this season's open-toe trend, take this as a sign to try a closed-toe alternative in this classic print. Continue scrolling to explore my selection of the best snakeskin shoes paired with straight-leg jeans.
