In a sea of minimalist black sandals, simple Havaianas and sleek mules, there’s one sandal trend making summer footwear a little more fun: jelly sandals. Ancient Greek Sandals’ cult jelly flip-flops helped pave the way, but brands are quickly following suit, and there’s one style in particular that cool It girls can’t stop wearing right now: Jimmy Choo’s jelly sandals.
Available in amber, blue and a translucent glitter-flecked finish, they have all the makings of a cult summer shoe. Designed with a slight heel and intersecting straps that cross over the foot, the jelly construction adds immediate interest and texture to even the simplest outfits, catching the light as you walk. And, perhaps most importantly, they’re already cool-girl certified.
Styled with everything from balloon trousers and relaxed denim to minimalist dresses and floaty skirts, some of the chicest women on my Instagram feed are proving they’re far more versatile than their playful appearance might suggest. It’s that contrast that makes them feel so right for now: nostalgic without feeling overly retro, statement-making without being difficult to wear, and an easy way to make the pared-back summer pieces already in your wardrobe feel fresh again.
If the last few summers have belonged to barely-there sandals and understated flip-flops, consider this the season we’re having a little more fun with our footwear. Shop the viral Jimmy Choo jelly sandals below.
