6 Reasons to Slip a Pair of Black Flip-Flops in Your Bag

Sophisticated or funky on the outside, the inside of any purse is pretty much the same. Armed with emergency make-up kits, an extra toothbrush or two and a stash of pharmacy staples, any woman worth her wonder bra is prepared for the worst at any given moment. Which is why we think the addition of black flip-flops should be a bag-basic.

With a slim silhouette that won’t take up room and in a color that can do no wrong, carry a black flip-flop and be prepared for whatever life throws your way.

Post Bar Blues

Dancing the night away can kill your feet, and after one or two cocktails your balance can start to dwindle too. When a night out takes its toll on your ability to stand up straight, have a pair of flip-flops tucked away in your clutch to slip into for when you head home.

Surprise Storm

A sunny summer day can quickly turn into a tropical storm. While the leather strappy sandals you left the house in are stylish, they will get ruined in the rain. Have a pair of flip-flops tucked away with your umbrella for a rubber shoe that can get wet.

Stranded & Shoeless

Ever indulged in fast-fashion sandals that fell apart on you mid step or broken a heel while walking over a grate? We’ve all been there. Stuck half-shoeless in the center of the city. Don’t risk walking barefoot to the nearest boutique, but be prepared with flip-flops on hand.

Comfortable Commute

Make your commute to work a little easier when you pack your pumps away in favor of a pair of flip-flops you can hide in your purse when you get to the office. A black pair will look inconspicuous with your corporate attire and the slim straps will let your feet breathe.

Unbearable Blisters

Flats can seem like a fail-safe option for comfortable footwear, but when they are brand new they can surprise you with brutal blisters. Don’t grin and bare it. When your shoes start to rub, switch them out for flip-flops for a while.

Gym Shoe Go-To

The perfect solution to your post gym woes, don’t get back into your sweaty gym shoes after your shower, but slide on your trusty flip-flops that will let your feet get fresh air. Easy to pack in your tote along side your towel, these low-maintenance sandals are subtle enough to also wear at the juice bar.

While most women choose their shoes based on style, picking a pair of black flip-flops is more about necessity than sartorial. Pack them in your purse for a back-up sandal that can save the day.
