Flipflops are usually seen as the stylistic antithesis to classic style. Conservative dressers seem to strongly dislike them although it is very easy to find pictures showing style icons of the 1940s to 70s sporting flipflops and looking elegant. Sandals are equally unpopular among followers of permanent fashion although they are among the oldest types of shoes known to mankind. They are nevertheless not considered as classical because they seem to contradict the concept of elegance which is still rooted in the late 19th<\/sup> century England. In that era the body was covered up from head to toe with only the face being directly in sight (if not partly hidden under a beard or whiskers). In those days sandals were adopted by followers of different dress reform movements. Sandals symbolized the emancipation from physically restricting and unhealthy dresscodes, a gentleman in sandals was a very rare sight. Sandals also contradict the Italian idea of elegance and smart dress.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
