Suddenly, Water Shoes Are Summer’s Most Controversial Fashion Trend

Fashion has long departed from trends that would be considered safe. As much as the classic polka dot is enjoying a resurgence right now, some of the weirdest trends have succeeded at not only dominating our FYPs, but also our bank accounts. Sardines, dolphins, diaper shorts, TikTok's obsession with Loft - you name it - it's most likely been a fad at some point. You'd think we've seen it all, but of course, we found another item that's unexpectedly climbing the sartorial hierarchy: water shoes.

Yes, that's right, the shoe style that was originally constructed for water activities like surfing or swimming is now a fashion statement. But how did we graduate to immersing them into our street style wardrobe? The answer remains to be seen, but Irina Shayk's embrace of the shoe is a great point of reference. For a casual day of escapades in New York, the model wore a black T-shirt and black midi skirt with an oversize gray blazer and the Constance crossbody bag from Hermès - all pieces that would normally comprise a stylish outfit. Yet she added unusual flair with a pair of Wilcor neoprene slip-ons with pink piping, suggesting that water shoes weren't just made for the waterpark. I mean, if she wore them out and about in one of the world's most respected fashion capitals, then they're acceptable (kind of).

Whether you're influenced by Shayk's trés chic look or just need a new pair for your next trek to the beach, keep scrolling to shop the best water shoes.

The Boob-Window Trend Is All Over the Red Carpet From Sydney Sweeney to Chlöe

The boob window is the new trend in celebrity dressing making waves this year, both on and off the red carpet. As early as January, in fact, Lori Harvey stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in the LBD version of the look, flaunting an asymmetrical midi from The Attico with a chest cutout that circled her cleavage, and was further amplified by an attention-grabbing neck-tie sash. The outfits that follow often resemble halter silhouettes, although not all of these numbers boast a strap on each side. Sydney Sweeney is the latest style icon to give it a go, opting for a brown silk gown that she wore alongside model Izabel Goulart while vacationing in Ibiza. For a night out, the 25-year-old " Euphoria " star rocked her one-shoulder design with gold jewelry, dewy makeup, and her bright blonde hair in loose waves. The bodice of her dress was secured near her collar bone, where fabric from one side was pulled through a loop at the other, wrapping around to the back. The r...

Candice Huffine: "Size Does Not Equal Health, and Weight Does Not Equal Worth"

Image Source: Luvlette Born in Washington DC and raised in a Maryland suburb, Candice Huffine did a little bit of everything when she was growing up, from being captain of the cheerleading squad to taking her turn as a pageant queen. "It was 'typical' in a Hallmark movie kind of way, I guess," Huffine tells POPSUGAR. "These details are important to mention because they did influence my life path. I willingly put myself on a stage at every turn - and not always kind ones - to do the things I loved or to follow a dream I had." Huffine, 39, signed her first modeling contract in 2000. She was "determined" to be a model, despite the fashion industry being notoriously discriminatory toward plus-size people. Knowing the odds were stacked against her propelled Huffine even further toward realizing her dream. "When I received a contract as a plus-size model, it unlocked a new mission in me: to not pursue modeling just for myself, but to push har...
