The Sandal Trend You’re About to See Everywhere This Summer

Picture this: You’re strolling down the sidewalk, iced latte in hand, effortlessly chic in a perfectly tailored blazer and denim combo. The star of the outfit? A pair of minimalist suede flip-flops that scream understated elegance. Yes, flip-flops. But not just any flip-flops. This season, suede flip-flops are shining as the must-have footwear, and they’re giving all the expensive-taste vibes you didn’t know you needed.

For spring and summer, the traditional beachy sandal received a major upgrade, transforming into a sophisticated staple that works just as well at a rooftop brunch as it does by the pool. From The Row to your favorite emerging indie labels, brands have embraced this elevated twist on a casual classic, and the result is pure luxury in a shoe.
