Look to celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence for inspiration.

Perfect for when you&rsquo;re on the go, flip flops offer your feet an escape from the confinement of close-toed shoes that is unmatched for the summer months. After making a resurgence in 2020 with the onset of the pandemic, flip-flops have only been growing in popularity as comfort has become more of a priority and the appeal of a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/beach-packing-list-for-your-hamptons-getaway-guide-the-hamptons-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beach getaway</a> has grown. This year alone, anybody who&rsquo;s anybody has been spotted in the sandals, from Kim Kardashian to Emily Ratajkowski. Not only are they timeless and easy to slip on and off, they have come more into the spotlight as fashion designers continue to experiment with them and have recognized their potential as components in a good beachy 'fit.&nbsp;
This summer, we&rsquo;ve seen a number of sandal styles take center stage, from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/miu-miu-spring-summer-2024-paris-fashion-week-runway-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miu Miu&rsquo;s </a>viral sporty thong sandals to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/the-row-zoe-kravitz-jonah-hill-new-project-instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Row&rsquo;s</a> &ldquo;Beach Flip Flop,&rdquo; which took over high society early on in the season. Then there was the utterly out-of-nowhere jelly flats trend spearheaded by Jennifer Lawrence. At the end of the day though, flip flops persisted as the easiest, most soft-spoken yet glamorous style available.
Truly symbolic of vitality and joy, they are a summer must-have. Whether you&rsquo;re going to the beach, prepping for a sunny red carpet, or trying to get out of the house in comfort, here are the best ways to style flip flops while keeping in line with the biggest trends of summer 2024.

The chunky flip flop is having a moment right now. Seen on Kim Kardashian and other fashionable individuals around the world, it's safe to say there is plenty of room for maximalism this summer. They also provide significantly more support for the foot through thicker soles and can be more cushioned all around, minimizing friction between the shoe and your foot. Try styling them with baggy pants and an oversized top to match the over-the-top aesthetic.&nbsp;

If you have a white summer fit, whether that be a dress, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/lightweight-pants-to-survive-the-heatwave-summer-pants-for-women-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">breathable pants</a>, or literally anything else, having a pair of white or off-white flip flops is mandatory. There is a certain playfulness inherent in this look that is perfect for the summer and timeless too. Style them with a summery white dress and bag for a put-together look, or with lightweight white shorts for a casual beach 'fit.&nbsp;

This classic thong-style flip flop look is back in style after years of receiving hate from big names like Tom Ford for not being "glamorous" enough. This summer, celebrities like Zoe Kravitz, Kylie Jenner, and more are wearing them. The look goes great with lightweight summer dresses and jeans alike. The simple black color can be varied to match or complement the outfit, but black is the go-to for most as it is so discreet and established. The translucent strap of The Row's Beach Flip Flops comes in a variety of colors and can also look great when paired well with another item.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Havaianas are an amazing flip flop option for this summer. They have taken over street style and are unbelievably affordable. With the average pair of Havaiana flip flops costing around $15-$35, you'll be able to have a different set of shoes for every outfit. They go great with flowing dresses and everyday summer pants.&nbsp;

While they might be a little more sporty and stylized than your typical flip flops, these definitely make the cut. The rope thong style gives them an outdoorsy vibe, which is great for flip flops, but they are more durable than the average pair, and more secure too. They look great with a splash of color and have been popping up all over the place.&nbsp;
