ICYMI, Havaianas thongs (flip-flops/ sandals /whatever you want to call them) have made a MAJOR comeback.

Yes, it's become such an it-girl fashion item that even Mamamia Beauty & Health Editor Erin Docherty wrote an entire article about it. (You can read Erin's full Havaiana rundown here.)

Watch: Leigh Campbell explains 'the Wrong Shoe theory'. Post continues below.

The casual shoe silhouette is no longer reserved for your beach days or communal showers. Now, all the most fashionable girlies can be seen wearing their Havaianas out and about, and they're pairing them with structured pants, blazers, linen fits, flowy skirts and summer dresses.

Even better, they're free from any annoying buckles, straps or laces, so we don't blame you if you just want to wear your Havaianas every day and everywhere.

But although they're incredibly versatile, there are some instances where it's probably best to leave your rubber shoes at home. For example, in a professional workplace, a nice restaurant, or family meals with the in-laws.

If you want the comfort and effortless look Havaianas deliver, but need something a bit more elevated, we've got your back. Below, we've rounded up our favourite chic thong options, and we promise: they're just as good as your comfy Havaianas.
