Shop Leather, Jelly, and Kitten-Heeled Flip-Flops for a Nostalgic Summery Look

The best flip-flops have become a summer closet standby, certified with Vogue fashion editors’ stamp of approval. Although the warm-weather sandal certainly garnered a mixed bag of reactions when they came back en mode, the ease and styling versatility of flip-flops have made them a mainstay in every shoe closet (not to mention a commanding presence on the men’s 2025 spring runways.) What’s old is new again, and a slew of high-end and contemporary designers, whose refined takes on the summertime shoe—plus the wave of influential people who wear them—have proven that flip-flops are most definitely in their chic era.

Vogue’s Guide to the Best Flip-Flops:

The Row really set the stage for the thong sandal’s comeback with their beautifully-crafted, minimal options, regularly worn by fans such as Zoë Kravitz and Kendall Jenner on the street in their everyday lives. Bella Hadid is no stranger to the shape either, having sported everything from kitten heeled flip-flops to throwback platforms, mixed within her signature retro-leaning looks, always giving us a bit of wardrobe envy. Even if you don’t have a super model’s closet, flip-flops are an accessible choice that quite literally everyone can dip their toes into, available at every budget.
