If we could time travel back to a decade ago, we would be surrounded by flare jean wearing, Razor scooter riding, MySpace using people. "High School Musical" just made its big debut and everyone is repping their yellow LiveStrong bracelets. Most importantly, Crocs are in style!
What goes around, comes around, people. History repeats itself. Wearing Crocs growing u got you a pass into the in-crowd. Being 8 years old and customizing your own foam shoes was the next best thing. “Jibbitz” were sold alongside Crocs. These were little charms used to stick in the holes of the shoes so you could express your personality.
Good thing for nurses, teachers, and gardeners, their long loved footwear is coming back in style!
Kids weren’t the only ones that enjoyed the foam shoes, adults did too. Men and women wore them because of how comfortable they were and also for their so-called health benefits. Women usually do not hesitate to make sizable investments in fashion, accessories included. So why is there a great influx of cheap and not-so-chic guilty-pleasure footwear?
It's not just your Science teacher that is wearing these foam monstrosities. Celebrities have been photographed in Crocs too.Crocs made its way to London’s Fashion Week and now everyone is talking about them. For his spring/summer 2017 collection, Scottish designer Christopher Kane decided to pair his avant-garde, funky womenswear with embellished Crocs featuring charms, letters and even colorful crystals.
People are not only wearing crocs, as a statement, they're also getting tattoos. An internet star, Christine Sydelko, got a tattoo of a simple Croc. What a dedicated fan!
Whether your purpose when wearing these shoes are for high fashion, or just to simply feel a sense of nostalgia, the trend is definitely coming back!
