Versace Alia 55 metallic thong sandals

There's a quiet confidence to the label's Versace Alia 55 metallic thong sandals — the kind of piece that does the work without announcing itself.

The Upper: Rubber, Sole: Rubber build comes through in gold, UK 2, with a finish that holds up to close inspection.

Suits a wardrobe where fewer, better pieces matter more than keeping up with trend cycles.
