From elevated chain headwear and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/copenhagens-street-style-bermuda-shorts\">cargo Bermuda shorts<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/copenhagen-fashion-week-haircut-trends-spring-summer-2027\">layered, undone hairstyles,<\/a> there are tons of style ideas to take from the showgoers.<\/p>\n<p>But the one viral style currently on everyone\u2019s lips (likely on wide-eyed, jaw-dropped faces) is the new Havaianas kitten heel flip-flops, notably with big-toe caps. After being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Dbf6SQDNCFg\/\">teased on the Brazilian brand\u2019s socials<\/a>, the statement sandals debuted on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbojKOsDX_j\/?img_index=1\">Studio Constance runway<\/a> on August 4. But because every brand makes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/best-thong-kitten-heels\">heeled flip flops<\/a> now, it seems that Havaianas really wanted to stand out from the rest, hence the not-so-typical concealed big toe design.<\/p>\n<p>The wacky shoe of the moment is constantly evolving, from Maison Margiela\u2019s split-toe Tabi flat revival to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/pierced-fashion-trend-tory-burch-shoes\">Tory Burch\u2019s metal-pierced mules<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/vibram-five-finger-ugly-shoe-trend\">Vibram\u2019s FiveFinger utilitarian shoes.<\/a> And somehow, someway, Copenhagen\u2019s fashion It-girls are already wearing styles similar to the viral Havaianas. (Plus, just before writing this, I spotted toe-covered flip flops on the NYC subway.)<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/images\/12000631.jpg?width=683&amp;height=1024&amp;fit=bounds&amp;crop=683%3A1024\" \/><figcaption>COPENHAGEN, DENMARK \u2013 AUGUST 04: A model walks the runway during the Studio Constance show at Copenhagen Fashion Week Spring\/Summer 2027 on August 04, 2026 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
