Law Made the Case For Chunky Sandals Instead of Flip-Flops This Summer

I’m sorry, but I just can’t bring myself to wear flip-flops in the city. I’ve lived in London long enough to know that the pavements are simply too dirty and dusty for comfort. As such, I reserve these barely-there shoes for beach-bound destinations and opt for something with a little more coverage as I move between city engagements. In fact, my favourite city sandals just got another tick of approval when I spotted actor—and my personal long-time style icon—Jennifer Lawrence wearing the very sandal trend I always reach for on hot city days.

Clearly on a similar wavelength, Jennifer swapped trending flip-flops for a pair of flat, chunkier sandals as she strode through the city. Wearing a now sold-out pair of Pierre Hardy Mules (£515), her shoes featured two thick straps complete with chunky buckles, rendered in a light brown hue that offered a higher-coverage finish and a more secure feel.

Far less likely to invite dust and dirt into your shoes, the thicker sole and hardier straps make for a much more practical choice for city strolls, while still tapping into a trending silhouette that blends into the urban fashion scene.
