There's no doubt nostalgia has hit a high note with footwear, and now, toe ring sandals are the latest retro trend to make a comeback this season.Revamped on spring 2019 runways, thanks to the likes of Celine, Y/Project and Phillip Lim, the minimalist style elevates the classic flip flop with a toe ring-like fixture. Not only is it eye-catching — often done in a range of strappy versions with everything from snakeskin print to beaded embellishments — but it'll also help keep you locked into place as it hugs your big toe. Heck, many styles are even great for preventing bunions because they often feature an open vamp design that won't cramp toes.While funky tan lines are an inevitable side effect of rocking this style, they're so chic and comfy, we reckon it's worth the risk.
