Flip-flops in fall

Date: 28 September, 08:30 AM
Place: Utrecht
Weather conditions: Around 12-14 degrees Celsius.
Personal conditions: I feel cold. I am wearing a jacket and a scarf. I do not seem to be the only one.

Observation: Noticed several people wearing flip-flops. (shock and awe!!!)
YES, the kind of footwear you 'normally' see in the summer on the beach!
What is more: people are cycling with it.
And what is even more: they seem to be going to work/school with it.

My personal opinions about the appropriateness of flip-flops at schools, universities and the like aside, I wonder, is this an attempt to keep the 'vacation spirit' alive? Or are they simply not cold?...
