Last year, flip-flops were considered to be the go-to shoe for quick and casual outings, such as running errands or spending a day at the beach. However, Kylie Jenner has recently elevated them to a whole new level by making them the star of her Italian summer vacation. The 27-year-old founder of Khy and beauty mogul packed not one, but three different pairs of flip-flops for her trip, including the TKEES Lily Liners ($60), TKEES Lily Platforms ($95), and TKEES Lily Metallics ($60). And let’s just say, she rocked them with style and grace.
Jenner was spotted wearing her flip-flops with a variety of outfits, from a vintage leopard set to white flared pants that dragged on the ground. With each step, she effortlessly showed off the classic thong silhouette of the flip-flops, proving that they can be both comfortable and fashionable. But she didn’t stop there. Jenner also showed us how to dress up the flip-flop by pairing it with more polished ensembles, as seen in her heeled version of the shoe.
And it seems like Jenner isn’t the only one who has fallen in love with this summer staple. Other celebrities, including Gigi Hadid, Dua Lipa, Sofia Richie, and Lori Harvey, have also been spotted rocking flip-flops, proving that they are no longer just reserved for pool days.
If you’re looking to add some of Jenner’s flip-flop style to your wardrobe, you’re in luck. Her TKEES pairs are available on the brand’s website in a variety of colorways, including neutral shades like Cocobutter, Sunkissed, and Biscuit. These colors are perfect for achieving a nude look and can be paired with flowy white boho dresses for a chic summer look. Additionally, we highly recommend the TKEES Boyfriend Leather Flip Flop ($70), which features a thicker, more luxurious leather strap, the Havaianas Slim Season Flip Flop ($13, originally $26) for a heavier rubber sole, and the Mango Leather Platform Wedge Flip Flop ($140) for a minimalist ’90s vibe.
For those who prefer a heeled option, there are plenty of choices to choose from. The Cushionaire Miami Sandals ($40, originally $60) are currently on sale with a great Amazon Prime Day deal, while the Tony Bianco Topaz Flip Flop ($155-$160) offers high quality and maximum comfort. And for a little boost of height, check out the Jeffrey Campbell Lollipop Kitten Heel Sandal ($30-$45, originally $60).
In conclusion, Kylie Jenner has officially made flip-flops the must-have shoe of the summer. So why not take a page out of her book and add a pair (or three) to your shoe collection? With so many options to choose from, you’ll be sure to find the perfect flip-flops to elevate your summer style. Happy shopping!
