When it comes to the quest for comfortable footwear, few options can rival the ease and simplicity of flat sandals. However, the tricky part usually lies in finding a pair that's chic and elevated enough. Enter Chanel's ubiquitous dad sandals, adored by well-heeled it girls and style stars alike, that merge luxury and practicality.
One local celebrity who can't get enough of this designer shoe is Julie Anne San Jose, who owns not just one but two pairs of the semi-chunky, three-strapped sandal from the French fashion house. Favoring the classic black and white colorways, the Maria Clara at Ibarra actress—who also has a penchant for Chanel bags—effortlessly pairs them with cool 'fits ranging from easy-breezy vacation looks to casual yet luxe mall OOTDs.

For a "lazy day" outfit, Julie Anne goes for a relaxed white button-down shirt and capri pants combo elevated with designer accessories, including her go-to black Saint Laurent sunglasses, Dior Book Tote, and white Chanel dad sandals.
Contrasting her otherwise all-black vacation look, the singer-actress finishes off her matching off-the-shoulder flounce crop top and pants with white comfy footwear. We love this well-coordinate couple OOTD with her beau Rayver Cruz!
Julie Anne loves Chanel's dad sandals so much that she just had to get it in another color! Here, she debuts a black iteration of the pair with a chic monochromatic ensemble that consists of a sultry halter top, jersey trousers, and a dark green Goyard tote for a subtle pop of color.
Clearly a fan of B&W 'fits, Julie Anne takes her black dad sandals for another spin in a luxe OOTD featuring her Louis Vuitton arm candy.
