Copenhagen’s Wacky Shoe Trend Is All About The Big Toe
Copenhagen Fashion Week has unofficially commenced the Fashion Month season with Spring/Summer 2027 collections and lots of striking street style. From elevated chain headwear and cargo Bermuda shorts to layered, undone hairstyles, there are tons of style ideas to take from the showgoers.
But the one viral style currently on everyone’s lips (likely on wide-eyed, jaw-dropped faces) is the new Havaianas kitten heel flip-flops, notably with big-toe caps. After being teased on the Brazilian brand’s socials, the statement sandals debuted on the Studio Constance runway on August 4. But because every brand makes heeled flip flops now, it seems that Havaianas really wanted to stand out from the rest, hence the not-so-typical concealed big toe design.
The wacky shoe of the moment is constantly evolving, from Maison Margiela’s split-toe Tabi flat revival to Tory Burch’s metal-pierced mules to Vibram’s FiveFinger utilitarian shoes. And somehow, someway, Copenhagen’s fashion It-girls are already wearing styles similar to the viral Havaianas. (Plus, just before writing this, I spotted toe-covered flip flops on the NYC subway.)
The Copenhagen street style outfits have predominantly consisted of trendy toe-ring sandals, unique peep-toe heels, and woven-fabric flats that each give peeks of summer pedicures. So maybe the solution to transitional-weather dressing — whether it’s from the summer into the fall or the winter into the spring — is not a standard flip flop or boot, but rather keeping a toe or two covered.
And wouldn’t you know it… even before Collina Strada’s Copenhagen debut on August 6, which had models strutting in cut-out toe socks in place of shoes, many runway attendees have already been pairing similar socks with their thong sandals or Havaianas flip flops. So, if the toe-cap styles are too avant-garde for you, consider DIYing socks into a faux leg-warmer look for the changing weather.
Since the Havaianas heels aren’t available to purchase yet, shop alternatives for big-toe covered shoes, from funky cut-out heels and toe-ring sandals to strappy mules in the meantime.
