Put away your chunky platform trainers, there's a new ugly shoe in style for the summer.
Chunky platform trainers, or 'stompers' as some would know them have come flying back from the 90s, onto the high street and into our wardrobes.
But as the weather is getting warmer and big trainers are getting a bit much for our summer outfits, what do we replace them with? That's simple - dad sandals. Yes, really.
They've been spotted in a number of designer brands' footwear collections, including Chanel and Prada who prehaps have the most notable styles, but they're now making their way onto the high street.
Comfort and style, what's not to like?
Fashion bloggers, stylist, celebs, models and anyone remotely influential in the fashion industry are all stocking up on the ugly-but-cool shoes, which means one thing... we should all be doing the same.
We've pulled together some of the best high street options for you, so we can all embrace our inner dad-on-a-caravanning-holiday vibes.
