For quite some time, we spent our days cooped up inside our homes, putting our beloved pairs of footwear on a temporary hiatus. But now that restrictions have started to ease, the possibility of strutting in our most stylish shoes is becoming a reality for many of us ~again~. In recent years, however, trends in footwear have continuously evolved, with some pieces previously considered passé becoming a viral-worthy closet necessity again. If you want to update your footwear collection, here are a few noteworthy pieces that are making a stylish comeback in the fashion scene:
Grandpa Sandals
As the habit of incorporating your parents’ old clothing items into more modern OOTDs becomes a sartorial trend, the classic grandpa sandals also get a stylish update. What once was touted as “ugly” shoes now has a cult following even in the most stylish female fashionistas. This particular pair comes in the prettiest colors, too!

Crocs Slides
News flash: Crocs are cool again, and it’s becoming a go-to pair for those who want to stay comfy and still make a statement through their shoes (Case in point: Top K-pop idols like BLACKPINK's Jisoo and NCT's Mark have been spotted with their own customized pairs). The classic footwear now comes in various stylish iterations like wedges, platforms, and open-toed slides to match the fast-evolving outfit trends of Gen Z fashion. Plus points for the perk of customizing your own pair with the cutest jibbitz charms!

Flip-Flops
Now that summer is just around the corner, a trusty pair of flip-flops is a beach must-have. These days, the usual pair of tsinelas comes in a more ~aesthetic~ and Instagram-friendly look, making it ideal for a laid-back but stylish 'fit. This pair from Sebastian & Savannah looks extra comfy with its padded straps.

Platform Sandals
Platform sandals had their glory days in the '90s until they were quietly overtaken by sleeker, less attention-grabbing styles of footwear. Good news for '90s kids and fashion enthusiasts, though: The iconic shoe style is sliding its way back into everyone's wardrobes. On top of adding a nostalgic vibe to your 'fits, platform sandals also provide a chic solution for those who want a few extra inches of height. This pair of platform sandals is ideal for future beach walks (FYI, it's also made using sustainable materials).
