This Is How You Make Flip Flop Looks Cool
A ton of fashion’s hottest – and most expensive – names are championing the humble flip flop this season. The Row, Toteme, Saint Laurent… we’re looking at you. If those price tags feel a little ridiculous (and they completely are), don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with an edit of much more affordable options. We’ve also rounded up some inspiration from Instagram’s finest on how to make flip flops work (and look cool) in the city.
Look 1
The capri pant trend is everywhere this season, and if you’re keen to try it but feeling a little apprehensive about the ’90s throwback, this is such a good way to wear it. The asymmetric lace-trimmed slip keeps things elevated, whilst a sporty, YSL-esque shell jacket keeps the whole look low-key but cool.

If in doubt, the great-blazer-excellent-jeans-cool-tee combo always works. And lo and behold, it works just as well with flip flops as it does with winter boots and spring ballet flats.

Jo-Ann Alari is the master of the low-key weekend look. Case in point: this relaxed, slubby tee, dungarees, and boho flip flops combo. It has all the makings of a cool Cali girl, reimagined for the UK.

The perfect look for chilly mornings that head into bright sunshine, this layered look feels boho and relaxed but pulled together. A pop of red is always a good idea, too.

Finally, Monikh Dale is the queen of flip flops – she practically wears them exclusively come spring. This downplayed look is channelling a major Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow ’90s vibe, and we’re very into it.
