Top 9+ Flip-Flop Outfit Ideas That Are Effortlessly Chic for Summer

Jelly sandals, crochet ballet flats, and elegant espadrilles are all dominating our summer shoe wardrobes this season. However, we’d argue that there’s one more classic worth adding to the mix: the ’90s-inspired flip-flop. The simple, sleek sandal is no longer just a seaside staple; fashion girls from around the globe have been spotted wearing them to sit in the front row at Fashion Week or for an evening out. Even Gigi Hadid styled her cocktail minidress with her Havaianas sandals while out in New York City recently.

The best flip-flop outfits usually begin with a minimalist black pair. Styles from Ancient Greek Sandals and the Row are some of our favorites. You can style them with a summery scarf top, linen Bermuda shorts, and a matching linen blazer. On the other end, flip-flops in butter yellow, bright white, or even burgundy can help add a pop of color to a summer outfit lineup. Flip-flop heels are similarly versatile and work even better for those festive summer nights out when you want to dress up a little.

Ahead, see and shop the nine best flip-flop outfits that are effortlessly chic for summer—and beyond!
