There is no denying that flip flops have been having a moment on and off the runway the last few seasons. Although the warm-weather sandal can certainly garner a mixed bag of reactions, their ease and versatility have made them a mainstay in every shoe closet. Whether you are pro-IRL wear from summer brunches to casual offices, or vow only to reserve the shoe for vacation and trips to the pool, one thing is for certain—flip flops have entered 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, often worn by fans such as Zoë Kravitz and Kendall Jenner on the street in their everyday lives, demonstrating how cool they could be. Bella Hadid is no stranger to the shape either, having sported everything from throwback platforms to heeled flip-flops mixed into her signature looks—which always give us a bit of wardrobe envy. Even if you don’t have a super model’s closet, the great thing about flip-flops is they’re one shoe that is accessible to quite literally everyone and available at every budget.
