There was a time when wearing flip flops anywhere beyond the beach felt like a fashion risk. That era is over. Flip flops have been steadily climbing the style ranks for the last few seasons, and in 2026, they’re a full-blown fashion trend showing up in street style, on runways, and on some of the most photographed women in fashion.

Here are the flip flop outfits that are worth trying this summer each one with shopping picks so you can actually build the look.
