These $30 Gap Sandals Are as Chic as a $650 Designer Pair

There’s no denying the impact that The Row’s jelly shoe styles had on the fashion set last year. The designs were a clear nod to our collective childhoods, which in turn, sparked a nostalgic frenzy in securing a pair. I held off buying either the jelly Mara flats or the jelly Beach flip-flop sandals due to questioning whether my interest would remain steady into 2025—not to mention the eye-watering prices. Sure enough, my heart still skips a beat when I see a pair lately.

Thankfully, I came across a $30 alt version for the jelly flip-flops from Gap that will perfectly curb my craving. They are even on sale now for $23, so it’s a no-brainer. At this affordable price point, I might even scoop up two colors. I’m currently leaning towards the red and clear pair to have both a bold and subtle pick to alternate depending on my look. Either way, I plan on wearing them with everything from trending linen pants to pretty dresses to jeans.
