10 dapper dad sandals to incorporate into your professional wardrobe

Gone are the days when dad sandals were only used after the 9-to-5 grind. The landscape of office ensembles is evolving, and the humble dad sandals will mirror the influential role that Phoebe Philo's timeless sneakers have played in shaping women's footwear trends over the last decade. 

Let's not forget getting all sweaty and sticky under Singapore's weather – it's nearly impossible to resist the temptation of slipping into a breezy pair of Birks. With the whole athleisure trend skyrocketing and the rising demand for comfort, many fashion houses are giving this ugly-chic utilitarian footwear a total makeover. 

From the masculine silhouette at Prada to a feminine reinterpretation of Teva’s iconic design at Chloe, the fashion industry ensures there’s an office-appropriate dad sandal for every ensemble. Keep scrolling to discover an edit of Her World-approved velcro sandals and say goodbye to the discomfort of high heels.
