Flip Flops Are The Democratic Shoe Choice This Summer

Your summer sandal is as simple as it gets.

I have been wearing flip flops every summer since Scandinavian girls brought them back in 2018. To me, they are the perfect summer sandal. Minimal, comfortable, and IMO, flattering on the foot, there is nothing about the humble flip flop that I don't love.

Almost every year, The Row releases a new, luxuriously priced flip flop into the world, and each year, people collectively lose their minds about the price of said flip flop. The thing about a good flip flop, again, in my opinion, is that it really is a shoe that knows few bounds. Therefore, I'm happy to invest my money in footwear that's going to carry me through an entire season, potentially for a few consecutive years.

That being said, not all flip flops will set you back hundreds of dollars. That's the beauty of the humble flip flop! You can pick them up from the gas station or you can pick them up from The Row, whatever your budget permits, a simple, stylish flip flop is within your reach.

Here, we're rounding up our favorite styles. From the luxury options like The Row, Christopher Esber, Vetements, and Miu Miu to the accessible in classic Havaianas and Hokas, these are our favorite flip flops to shop this summer.
