The Flip Flops Worth Buying
Open-toe season has nearly arrived, and the flip flop is proving it has far more range than we once gave it credit for. Once reserved primarily for beach and pool days, the style has evolved into one of the easiest warm-weather staples to wear from morning to night.
Today’s flip flops feel sleeker and far more elevated than in years past. Think soft leathers, sculptural shapes, jelly finishes, and minimalist straps that feel just as appropriate for city dressing as they do for vacation.
While the silhouette itself is simple, the styling possibilities are versatile. They look effortless with oversized denim and a white tank, but feel equally chic styled with a dress, relaxed button-down, or tailored trousers. It’s one of those styles that can feel both relaxed and polished at the same time.
Below are a few of my favorite pairs worth adding to your wardrobe this summer.
The brand’s minimalist aesthetic feels understated and polished in the best way, and the leather only gets better with wear.
Their signature Lily styles are minimal, comfortable, and easy to wear with virtually everything.
Their Saionara style has become a best seller — easy enough for the beach, polished enough for dinner afterward. The jelly versions with color pops are especially fun for summer.
Affordable, comfortable, and perfect for everyday summer dressing.
For anyone who wants proper arch support without giving up the clean minimal look, Archies has developed a loyal following.
A more fashion-forward pair with a color pop. The padded thong silhouette and bright yellow color feel both retro and modern at the same time.
