Alexa Chung wore a trendy sandal that's selling out

The oldest trick in the outfit book was expertly demonstrated by Alexa Chung in the south of France last week: The easiest way to make an outfit more interesting is to wear a pair of interesting, or trendy, shoes. Chung posted a series of photos on her Instagram feed after her trip to Cannes, some of them wearing a black slip dress with a red car coat. It was a great outfit in itself, but the extremely specific shoe trend she chose to wear made it a standout outfit: animal-print high-heeled thong sandals.

Chung had the exact same shoes Alaia Leopard-Print Tongue Mule, A shoe that you can barely find in stock anywhere, along with many other animal-print high-heeled thong sandals. As we all know well, flip-flops of every kind remain a major trend of summer shoes, and pairing flip-flops with animal print makes them even more attractive. So, keep scrolling to see Chung’s expert example for yourself and to shop a range of adorable animal-print high-heeled thong sandals that are miraculously still (mostly) in stock.
