The flip flops that are taking over summer 2025

Limited to beachwear for a long time, flip-flops are poised to make a major comeback in our summer wardrobes after years hidden away in our closets. Discover our selection of trendy designs, from the boldest to the most minimalist, including luxury, simple or heeled designs, as well as designs with fur or rhinestones.

  • Flip flops are the must-have accessories of the season

    Irina Shayk photographed in front of the Martinez at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, or Emily Ratajkowski casually strolling through the streets of New York… Today’s most prominent it-girls seem to have definitively fell in love with flip-flops. Truth be told, so do we.

    Often associated with the “ugly shoes” trend, these sandals are everywhere on the streets of major capitals. They used to be a divisive topic a few months ago, but now seem to be largely loved, finally ready to flaunt their full fashion potential.

    Where to find the perfect pair of flip-flops for summer 2025?
