Don’t get us wrong—black flip-flops are a staple in any well-curated summer wardrobe. But if you already own a pair (or two), consider adding a fresh alternative to your rotation this season. While there are plenty of anti-black designs, such as colorful two-tone styles and bold beaded ones, a surprisingly versatile option that stands out is leopard-print flip-flops. Just look at Lori Harvey.
Spotted in L.A. last week, Harvey styled dark-wash baggy jeans with a black tank top. She accessorized with black sporty sunglasses and carried a large shopping tote bag on her shoulder. For shoes, she wore Alaïa’s leopard-print flip-flops.

The appeal of leopard-print flip-flops lies in their versatility. Long considered a fashion neutral, the pattern blends well with foundational shades like brown, tan, black, and white. Whether paired with relaxed denim and a simple tank top or button-down shirts and a pencil skirt, this sandal trend adds just the right amount of visual interest without overwhelming the outfit.
For a carefree, effortlessly chic look, consider swapping out standard black flip-flops for leopard-print flip-flops. Don’t be surprised if the compliments follow. Keep scrolling to shop the best pairs.
