The glorious warm-weather stretch when flip-flops (called thongs in Australia and parts of NZ) officially replace closed-toe footwear as the default shoe for every occasion, appropriate or not. Thongs szn is declared at the first convincing stretch of sun and lasts until someone makes you wear actual shoes again. It's less about fashion and more about a collective seasonal surrender to comfort: grocery runs, beach days, restaurants with a dress code that you interpret generously. Thongs szn has no official end date — only a cold snap.
Twenty-eight degrees in September? Thongs szn is officially open, I will not be taking further questions.
