When it comes to scouting the It-shoe of the summer season, there is one easy place to look: on a posh beach in Ibiza.
I was there for a swift trip over the Easter bank holiday weekend, and can safely report summer 2023 is up and running; magnums of Whispering Angel, silly boats — the works. And perched in the corner of one waterfront restaurant with wince-worthy prices, the favourite shoe of the best dressed men and women was unmissable and unexpected. Not a Gucci or Hermès leather slide, but the humble Birkenstock Boston clog.
