Re: Faux pas?

Same here. In Kuwait [Kuwaiti women are like, OBSESSED with fashion; yes it needed caps], everyone has to dressup when they go out [including full make-up, jewlery, designer clothes and so on]. If you're seen wearing flipflops they'd probably dub you as: 1] Non-Kuwaiti, 2] Poor, 3] Just plain tasteless and they'd actually look down on you.

Just so this ain't spam, heels that are taller than your little sister = not so hot.

Also, bright bright colors ;-;

they don't cover the whole foot.

idk don't hate me, i'm just saying flip flops around here, in general, are just... not on! i'm english, there's very rarely a reason for us to put our umbrellas down, let alone reach for flip flops!

They cover the bottom of your foot, which is kind of the point of a shoe. anyways, i think its mostly a climate thing. Or maybe just a continent thing. Because I'm guessing for most of Asia, flipflops are staple.

I think flip-flops work where there's a lot of diversity, and where the climate is hot and where wearing closed shoes would only make your feet sweaty XD

So we just type in google "THOSE WEIRD DISGUSTING BOOTS VICTORIA BECKHAM WORE THAT DIDN'T HAVE A HEEL," and we'll get that result? xD

And I like flipflops... they're good in Summer when it's wayyy to hot to wear anything else, or when you go to the beach or swimming the last thing you want to do is put a pair of shoes on. -shrug-

It probably just is a climate thing, and plus.. here you can get nicer types of flip-flops or sandals or whatever.

i want everyone at my school who wears sweatpants to GO DIE.
it burns MY EYES. like ugh.
and the new ghetto thing to do is to wear your baggy pants down to your ankles - then gyms shorts under them hanging slightly low - then your boxers with just a little bit showing - and then a huge ass t-shirt.

Flipflops are like a staple in the US...even up here, where we don't blink when it snows ten inches. LMFAOOO

I even know a (straight) guy who wears bright orange flipflops year round.

The 'gangsta' trends are what I can't stand, though.
What do they do, find pants that fit then buy ones that are six sizes larger than that? >_<

No one calls them thongs here..... Nor have I ever heard a person actually say that other than on TV.

Thongs refer to other things. whatnow? O_O

by **Thaddeus** on Sun 30 Nov 2008, 1:49 am

People call them thongs here. Flip flops is generally the term used, but thongs is also acceptable.

And yes, thongs do also refer to other things too. whatnow? O_O

in new zealand, they call them jandals.
not even kidding.
i was in a shoe store with a friend and there were signs up everywhere saying 'jandals 15%off'.
but weren't anywhere near anything...
so we spent like twenty minutes laughing our asses off before finally asking the guy there what they were.
imagine how embarrassing that was.
