About this video
Centeno explores the history of flip-flops and provides guidance on wearing them stylishly. He discusses common mistakes men make with flip-flops, including pairing them with overly formal or heavy fabrics, wearing them in inappropriate contexts, and neglecting foot grooming. Centeno recommends high-quality flip-flops in neutral tones paired with casual summer outfits like shorts, lightweight chinos, or linen trousers.
Key takeaways

- Centeno emphasizes that foot care and hygiene are critical when wearing open-toed sandals since feet will be visible to others
- Centeno recommends choosing well-made flip-flops in neutral colors like black, brown, or dark blue rather than cheap plastic versions, and pairing them with shorts, lightweight chinos, or linen trousers in beach and resort contexts
- Centeno traces flip-flop popularity to post-WWII when American military personnel stationed in Japan adopted Japanese zori sandals and brought them back to the United States
