Can you look elegant in flat sandals?

At Yokono we've been clear about it for a while: elegance isn't measured in centimetres. For years we carried the idea that a heel meant dressing up and a flat sandal meant plan B. But you only have to look at the streets, the summer weddings or the runways to realise that rule no longer applies. The flat sandal has stopped asking permission.

Classic and minimalist

These are the summer wardrobe foundation: clean lines, no superfluous adornments, in quality leather and neutral tones. Quiet luxury has reached the flat sandal too, and these are the proof. They work from office to dinner and are guaranteed never to go out of style.

Crossed and with a buckle

Here the design does the work. Crossed straps hold the foot well and lengthen it instantly, while metal buckles bring that touch of character that turns a simple sandal into the star of the look, with no heel involved. With a simple dress or high-waisted jeans, the effect is immediate.

Natural leather

Sometimes elegance lies in what you don't see at first glance. A flat sandal in soft, well-cut leather, with careful stitching, conveys quality even when the design is simple. It's the safe bet for anyone who prefers the material to speak before the adornment.

With colour and personality

Elegance can also be a statement. Tones like green, pink, orange or yellow, along with leopard print or multicoloured designs, work as the standout note in an understated look, as long as the rest of the outfit stays calm and lets them take all the attention.
