Jackie's Favorite Sandal--The Jack Rogers Navajo Thong AKA "The Palm Beach"

Jackie's Jack Rogers Sandal Still Available


Interesting fashion tidbit; wish I'd found it at the start of summer..... Jacqueline Kennedy usually wore Jack Rogers sandals while on vacation. One style, still available today and shown above, is nicknamed the “Palm Beach” when the First Lady wore the flat whip-stitched thong sandals to a Good Friday church service there. Some debate the origin of this sandal—Steve Bonnano versus Jack Rogers—but regardless the First Lady had these sandals in a variety of colors and styles, mixing them with shift dresses or Capri pants while enjoying her off-duty time.
