During the summer season, flip-flops become an extension of our feet. This pair, held together by almost nothing but a single sole and leaving no room for doubt, embodies summer in all its splendor. Sometimes accused of being too casual or simplistic for the city, it can nevertheless be worn far beyond the warm sand. How? By adding a few creative touches to its Y-shaped strap.<\/p>\n
Originally, flip-flops were primarily designed for practicality and comfort. They could be easily slipped off to jump into the water and feel the breeze on your feet. But flip-flops, which weren't intended to enhance leisure outfits, quickly became coveted fashion accessories for the most followed online fashionistas.<\/p>\n
These are no longer the soulless, clunky flip-flops we only wore to the local pool or on trips to the beach. Long associated with Hawaiian shirts and Bermuda shorts, these minimalist shoes that hug the toes are making a comeback in the fashion world. Adorned with gold embellishments, shell charms<\/a> , braided straps, or perched a few centimeters off the ground<\/a> , flip-flops are no longer just a postcard image or part of the casual vacationer's starter pack. They're taking to the streets, venturing off the beaten path. However, not all styles lend themselves to such a bold statement.<\/p>\n Thankfully, we can completely revamp the design of our old, embarrassing flip-flops with an unexpected accessory: hair ties. And not just any hair ties. Those ties from the children's section that our mothers used to create those palm tree hairstyles for us. The method is simple and even DIY novices can master. As @gabymendesensina<\/a> demonstrates in her tutorial, attach hair ties in your chosen color around the strap (preferably a rigid one), then join each end from right to left. To secure everything, remove the strap from its hole, thread the scrunchie through it, and put it back in place. <\/p>\n\n
