The It Girls of the moment might bet on “non-shoes”: slip-ons made of wafer-thin mesh that look more like socks than something sturdy you can wear around town in summer. After all, how would you do on the subway or on a crowded sidewalk? Exactly! For everyday use, ditch this model that literally acts as a city trash net and instead invest in durable footwear, such as fisherman sandals.

#2 Through the heat wave with cotton designs
