M&S (Image: Matt Cardy/Getty Images) I've been on a quest for the perfect shoe to complete my wardrobe, and I think I've found it after an unplanned visit to MandS. Although I initially went in for their pizza meal deal, I somehow 'stumbled' into the footwear section, trying on some of the new sandals and flip flops. I'm predicting that while the Adidas Samba and ballet flats will certainly be popular for casual daytime wear in the upcoming months, what I'm calling the 'elevated flip flop' will be the ultimate 'day-to-night' shoe of the summer.
Imagine thong sandals that exude luxury, with a designer-like feel, perhaps featuring a small heel or platform. It seems like Marks and Spencer heard my call and responded directly with these Flatform Toe Thong Sandals . Priced at £35, they offer the classic silhouette of a flip flop, but with a modern twist.

But they've been updated and made trendy with a chunky flatform sole in faux-suede fabric, which adds height to your look and lengthens the leg, making them ideal for more petite shoppers. The shoes are available in black and beige, both incredibly versatile colours, and feature a chunky leather-look strap that adds a touch of 'cool-girl' edge.
Designed with comfort as a priority, shoppers have praised them for not needing any breaking in and being 'super.
