Aside from her lead role in Grown-ish, starlet Yara Shahidi is known for killing the game in both beauty and fashion. The actress is known for switching up her look both on the show and on the gram. Her latest? Shahidi popped up on Instagram last week with the casual slay of a high bun and hoops, a textured burgundy two-piece set, and some eye-catching neon green Birkenstocks.
According to Yara, “Neon Birks on the feet make the outfit complete,” and right, she is. The neon is a fun twist on the traditional Birkenstock footwear, perfect for switching up your shoe game for the warmer weather. I don’t know about you, but the fun, bright shades make me want to grab my sun hat and head for the beach! Neon is also super trendy right now, with everyone from Janet Mock to Jordyn Woods and Chanel Iman sporting the acid green look lately.
Birkenstock is riding the neon wave hard with a new collaboration collection with Opening Ceremony, featuring the hallmark Birkenstock Zurich sandal in three fluorescent shades: green, pink, and yellow. The unisex Opening Ceremony x Birkenstock Fluorescent Zurich Sandal ($165.00, openingceremony.com) launched this last Tuesday and is exclusive to Opening Ceremony’s website.
If the Birks are out of your budget, don’t worry—we’ve got you with some alternative options that are just as fitting for some fun in the sun vibes. If you’re feeling nostalgic, get the neon vibe with these Jeffrey Campbell Gelly Sandals ($37.95, shop.nordstrom.com) and relive the footwear of your childhood. This fun style is available in neon green, pink, and orange, as well as traditional black and clear. If stylish house-slippers are more your vibe, try these Faux Suede Sandals from Forever21 ($9.90, forever21.com) in lime. These bright pink Fruity Jelly Flat Sandals from Asos are another dope choice ($19.00, asos.com).
