Unless you’ve been living under a rock – all fair to you if you are – you may have noticed that there’s a specific type of footwear that’s reigning supreme. If you’ve scrolled through Instagram or TikTok recently, you’ve probably clocked this trend already: the humble flip flop has taken the it-shoe crown for the second summer in a row.
Let’s be real. We all want to be comfortable and look effortless, so no wonder that flip flops, specifically Havaianas, have entered the chat. Once only reserved for your summer holiday, these rubber sandals have now been adopted by the cool girls, worn everywhere with everything from baggy jeans to dresses to typical bikini ensembles. Plus, our favourite it-girls, such as Hailey Bieber, Ruby Lyn and Molly-Mae, have been wearing the trend in their off-duty looks.

A trending combo since last year, the girls have been wearing flip flops with jeans or long trousers, bringing some nonchalant energy to their outfits. It’s an easy way to make your outfit more chill and casual – whether you’re going for brunch or popping out for some drinks. Opt for more oversized trousers in a linen or cotton material for that chic summer look, or stick to more low-rise jeans with a straight or bootcut fit for a nonchalant y2k vibe.

Flip flops can be dressy, but the key is to wear them with a skirt. See Hailey Bieber here has gone for a midi skirt, a red top and a heeled flip flop for an effortlessly elevated look. Similarly, see these images by cool-girl brand Peachy Den: the model is wearing flip flops with a flowy knee-length skirt and in another shot the model dons flip flops with a mini skirt – it’s chic but effortless.
