Nostalgia is at it again! Jelly shoes have been resurrected from the ’90s and are sought-after closet staples again. Dubbed ugly at best, these shoes divide the internet (what doesn’t?), but fashion enthusiasts keep coming back for more. Sure, global trends are fun — but some just aren’t worth the splurge. Lucky for you, we’ve found some way cooler local swaps to perk up your rainy-day outings.
In n Out
It’s as easy as it sounds. Slip-ons are the definition of comfort and convenience this season, but who says you can’t wear them in style? The Melissa Sun City Walk AD Flat Blue Slides at INR 2399 can easily accommodate your monsoon needs while remaining a bold statement to your outfit. Simplicity is key when the weather gets messy and unpredictable; it stands up well all year round.
Boots call!
If these London rag boots aren’t in your closet yet, they should be. They offer full ankle-top coverage, and add a classy edge to any outfit. Available on Myntra for Rs 2499, they’re an investment that can be worn all year round, too.
Floatin’ by
Don’t underestimate the power of a plain ol’ floater. From our ye olde school days, floaters have always been inculcated into our lives one way or another. Often criticised for their appearance, floaters — when styled right — can be a surprising game changer. The Sketchers Malaga Elena provides not only a cushioned comfort footbed but also a chunky platform with adequate traction, boosting your comfort and mobility in style.
Flat out fabulous
We’re all aware of the ballet flats buzz, but with a rainy setback, things could get icky. Lucky for us, airy ballet flats are here to the rescue! The Melissa Jean x Jason Wu VII Blue Flocked Solid Ballerinas, priced at R7999, may seem a little steep, but they live up to every bit of their value. With a snug fitting, coverage, and ventilation which in turn minimises water retention, these flocked solid ballet flats are here to stay all year round.
