Ah, flip-flops. The ultimate summer shoe. Whether you’re staying in the city or luxuriating on the beach, there’s nothing like that trusty pair to get you through the hot weather. They’re so comfortable that sometimes we don’t want to take them off even after leaving the pool. If this sounds like you, you’re in luck! We’re here to show you how to style them so you can wear these open-toed shoes anywhere– not just near the water. And we’re certainly not the only ones who think so; influencers and it-girls everywhere have been sporting their versions out and about since the summer of 2021. These looks are the perfect way to try the trend, and you’ll feel so cute and comfortable that you’re not going to want (or need) to take your fave summer shoes off this season.
