Havaianas" is a lifestyle brand from Brazil that has become increasingly common here in Japan. Inspired by Japanese zori sandals, the brand's classic flip-flops are now loved around the world and recognized as a world standard item. Perhaps the secret lies in their designs that suit everyone and the wide variety of styles available. For this issue, we have asked 30 fashion-conscious men and women of different generations and styles to try on a pair of flip-flops over a period of three months. In May, the first installment, we present styling by 10 fresh, spring-like men and women.
