Flip Flops : Fashion Faux Pas, or It Girl Shoe?

The return of flip flops: from fashion faux pas to it-girl shoe?

The poster child of casual footwear has made a serious comeback in the fashion world — effortlessly wearable, we know flip flops are a no brainer for any and all casual summer outings, but fashionistas are now embracing the comfort and simplicity of flip flops as staples in their seasonal capsule wardrobes. There’s a thong sandal to be paired with everything – even a pantsuit (see pinspo from Mango here)! Whether you’re into the classic rubber soles (like these from the sold out Havaianas x Dolce & Gabbana collab) or chic leather straps, I’ve got you covered with picks in every price range below!

The resurgence of flip flops isn’t just about comfort — it’s a fashion statement about minimalism. It girls like Elsa Hosk and Bella Hadid have been seen sporting fashion forward thong sandals all season long, proving why we need a few pairs of our own. And as fashion houses continue to carve out their own space within the trend, expect to see more collabs, new designs and luxe material flip-flopping their way down the runways in upcoming fashion weeks.
