Divisive trend everyone’s wearing to Europe
If Euro summer isn’t already all over your feed, then consider us impressed. Whether you’re gearing up for your own summer escape (or simply living vicariously through everyone else’s), we’ve got you covered.
I like to think of myself as a pro when it comes to travelling – in fact, I just came back from my sixth Euro summer trip.
So I’ve done the hard work for you and rounded up my selection of the best fashion and beauty trends that I’ve spotted hitting Europe’s cobblestoned streets
This Euro summer is bringing back some of our favourite Y2K trends, and honestly? We couldn’t be happier about it. We are seeing the resurgence of micro shorts, peasant dresses and a lot of fun chunky accessories.
But my personal favourite? Jelly sandals. They ruled the world in the early 2000s and have now made a very hot comeback.
Our current obsession is the GANNI x Melissa Flip Flop, available for $185 at The Iconic. Worth every single dollar, I’ve been trialling them and I have to say – they’re durable, blister-proof and a travel must-have.
Scroll on for more incredible travel-ready fashion and beauty picks.
JELLY SHOES
GANNI X Melissa Flip Flop, $185 at The Iconic
Tried and Tested by Annabel Lane, news.com checkout Partnerships Writer
I think I low-key avoided jelly shoes since the torture from the ones I wore as a toddler with the sparkles (IYKYK).
But the GANNI X Melissa jelly’s have given me hope, as the ruffles and colourway really sold me. They’re super comfortable and I’ve even transitioned them into my winter wardrobe with some baggy jeans.
Crocs Miami Flip Flop, $54.99 at Crocs
Tried and Tested by Annabel Lane, news.com checkout Partnerships Writer
The Crocs Miami Flip Flop are the GANNI’s cousin, and sit at a slightly lower price point. They’re simple, come in loads of colourways and are also super comfy.
So what we’re saying here is, yes you may just need both …
