At the height of comfortable summer fashion, the flatform flip flops are stealing the spotlight in 2022.

Gone are the days when flip flops were a holiday-only option. The fashion code has become more relaxed, and now you can wear flip flops anywhere. They’re comfortable and chic, and when you add a chunky sole, they’re definitely statement-worthy.

The best compromise for those who love the height but hate the pain of heels, flatform flip flops offer an extra boost that is perfectly balanced with the comfort your feet crave. This staple summer footwear couldn’t get any better.

The trend has received endorsements from celebs and runway shows, and the growing appetite for height shows no signs of being sated. From streetwear to sandy beaches, you can wear flatform flip flops anywhere. Casual enough for hanging out in a friend’s backyard or firing up the BBQ and stylish enough to go out in. They’re easy to grab and easy to pack and travel well with you on vacation, lending themselves well to

Think of how many miles of golden beach, grassy knoll or tarmac path you’ve walked in your flip flops. It’s because they are so affordable, versatile and comfortable that you go so far in them. They’ve done you proud, but now it’s time to repay the favour. Whether they are foam, canvas or leather, here are a few tips to make your trusted shoes look like new.

Deciding what to wear to the office in summertime is never easy. You want to keep cool but look smart. You may also be hitting the town after work, so you need something which ticks all the boxes.

Office fashion faux pas vary, depending on which industry you work in (law firm or ad agency) and where you work – in the city or by the beach. But, unless your office has a strict dress code, the rules are often unspoken, which means it’s time to get creative.

Flip Flops or Sandals are my go to in the office during summer (I’ve got at least 10 pairs, and counting). With the right outfit, jewelry and makeup, flip flops and sandals can be made to look really professional.

I always keep a pair of smarter shoes under my desk, though, just in case (normally for if it rains during the day)! If the big boss is in I am sure to walk around slowly so as not to alert the office police with my flip flopping. Although really they wouldn't mind as I always choose the smartest styles. Here are some examples:

You might mistake some brightly coloured animal shapes and toys for a mirage whilst exploring the East African coast, though in actual fact, it’s a unique and beautiful eco-friendly phenomenon. Local Kenyans of The Ocean Sole group based in Nairobi, have been creating artistic masterpieces out of used flip flops for nearly 10 years.

The concept continues to grow and attract attention. The euphoric colours used are enough to cause you kaleidoscope vision, being as lively and vibrant as the communities who make them.

The team transforms used flip flops into animals such as lions, dolphins, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, crafting animal jewelry also, some of which have made an appearance at Paris Fashion Week on the catwalk! Founder of the project Julie Church said:

"We are focused mainly on animals. Our target markets are zoos, aquariums and museums worldwide -- we've done that because that's what we're good at making at the moment but we are exploring other products too."

We can’t wait to

Summer in the UK is never long (or hot) enough for some of us, and we dream of catching the last of the sun before it’s back to rain and overcast skies. For those whose circumstances allow it, arranging one last getaway is the perfect way to wrap up the summer holidays. This last hoorah is all about soaking up those last few rays of precious sunshine!

It’s all well and good choosing a stunning location for your holiday backdrop, but what are you actually going to do when you get there? Are there any points of interest that are a must on your to-do list, or do you just want to lounge on the beach and consolidate your tan?

Knowing what you’re going to be doing in advance can help you decide what to pack. Make sure you’re well prepared for all your adventures. Pack comfortable, weather-appropriate clothes and equally comfortable footwear. Speaking of, do you know what flip flops you’re taking with you? There are so many different styles you can choose from!

We've been checking out what's hot in the way of flip flops and sandals (on the red carpet and beyond), snooping on celebrity feet for inspiration.

Wimbledon - a time when you'll spot some famous faces around and the perfect time to gain some inspiration! Fashion writer and make-up artist Tanya Burr was pictured earlier last week at Wimbledon, wearing a khaki onesie and caramel brown strapped sandals. Close matching neutral colours look great, even if you're not as tanned as you might want to be !

You can pick up a pair of long-lasting good quality strap sandals without having to spend a fortune from brands like Animal and Roxy.

Kim Kardashian pictured above is often pictured with flip flops, whether it’s on the beach or out to dinner. She favors a pair of Havaianas when on the road, showing us that flip flops can be the casual piece of footwear that they're known for but that this doesn't have to detract from looking chic - it's all about accessorising and colour coordinating.

So if you
