Flip Flop Season is Back, And These Are The Best Ones to Shop

The flip-flop trend continues to trend for a second year in a row. Who would have thought that the quintessential Y2K shoe would have such a strong grip on fashion’s finest for so long, but here we are. Personally, I find the simple thonged sandal incredibly elegant. We’re a generation obsessed with looking laid back, but put together; chic, but not trying too hard. That’s where something like a leather flip-flop thrives.
The shoes we used to all abuse on the way to the beach are now, well, the chicest it-shoe costing close to a $1,000. And I get it, honestly. Last year, I purchased a pair of heeled flip flops from Mango, which sold out in a heartbeat. The flip-flop’s ability to tie together a look with masterful ease should be studied. But how do you differentiate between a running-to-the-bodega flip flop and a just-got-featured-on-Vogue flip flop? The difference can be minimal, yet the outcome feels dramatic. In a lot of ways, it’s more about how you style them than the shoe itself, but I still think it’s important to avoid the rubbery flip-flops you once got at Old Navy for a dollar. Stick to leather options with perfectly sewn together. Add a heel for an elevated touch, or seek out straps that widen outward from the toe. Below, I’ve rounded up the chicest flip flops that are nothing like the shoes you used to wear in middle school.
