EmRata Is Bringing Back the Y2K Sandals I Was Obsessed With in High School
The '90s called, and Emily Ratajkowski answered. The street style star was spotted recently in New York City wearing a simple outfit featuring a few summer staple pieces, but her shoes made us do a double take. The 33-year-old model (and '90s baby) may have resurrected one of our favorite trends of the late 20th century: platform flip-flops.
In their purest form, these black sandals go with absolutely everything. Whether you're running errands on foot, heading to the beach, or camping out by the pool, odds are you will be wearing and seeing these classic summer shoes in some form or another. Did we mention they're super comfortable too?
Whether you want old-school rubber flip-flops or are ready to take your summer sandals to new heights with elevated designer versions, there's a pair of platform flip-flops out there to fit pretty much everyone's budget and style. Scroll down to check out several pairs of platform flip-flops and shop your faves. It's still early enough in the summer to break in a new pair or two!
