With the soaring temperatures, it’s becoming impossible to stick to sneakers. But what should you wear instead? Espadrilles? Sandals? We have the answer.
Reviving a Trendy Footwear from the ’90s
Footwear trends are plentiful and specific to every season. This year, a particular style is making a significant comeback. Favored by celebrities in the late ’90s – Gisele Bündchen was featured in the January 1999 issue of Vogue sporting a black pair by Manolo Blahnik – this shoe style is everywhere this summer. And no, we’re not talking about wedge flip-flops!
Even though flip-flops are a staple every summer, with brands like Havaianas launching new designs adorned with glitter and rhinestones, another version has caught the eye of numerous celebrities and fashionistas.
Celebrities Embrace the Heeled Flip-Flop Trend
Once considered a fashion faux pas, heeled flip-flops are making a triumphant return. American celebrities such as Elle Fanning, Kristen Bell, Miley Cyrus, Hailey Bieber, and Kendall Jenner have all embraced these minimalist sandals with small heels. They strike the perfect balance between beach flip-flops and high heels (though they are certainly more comfortable on pebbles than on sand).
Paired with low-rise jeans and a white tank top, heeled flip-flops bring back the vibe of the early 2000s. When combined with a flowing black dress or a satin skirt, they instantly turn chic, perfect for long summer evenings. Some brands have even reinvented them in satin finishes, metallic versions, or embellished with rhinestones and jewels.
Luxury Brands Are Also on Board
The luxury fashion industry has also adopted this trend! In their Spring-Summer 2025 collections, Miu Miu introduced their version featuring half-cut open socks. Ferragamo, on the other hand, styled them with satin ribbons tied around the calf, adding a touch of elegance and uniqueness.
If you’re looking to join in on this trend, you’ll find plenty of options available in stores. There are numerous models at various prices. COS offers a white pair for 150 euros, but you can also find more affordable options at Mango for 49.99 euros or even cheaper at Bershka for 19.99 euros.
