Brighton - How to Style Flip Flops for Summer

Summer's all about carefree, relaxed style, and no accessory is more synonymous with the sunny season than the flip flop. Now that the time for flip flops has arrived, we've got all the tips for helping you build your flip flop wardrobe and curating a collection that will take you from day to night as well as from beach to bistro and beyond. Keep reading for our favorite flip flop styling secrets and then start stocking up on your favorites.

PERFECT PEDICURE

One of our favorite things about wearing flip flops is having the opportunity to display an artful pedicure after shoes and boots have stifled your toes - and your self expression. Whether you enjoy visiting your nail salon or DIYing your preferred glossy finish, a pedicure can add a pop of color to any one of our designer's hand-painted creations. Each of our flip flop pairs is truly a work of art that you can enhance with playful variations on the classic red or French pedicure. Embellish your pedicure with some nail decals, add a coat of glitter polish, or paint each toe a different shade of the same color for an ombre effect!

DRESS UP DENIM

Most people style their denim with sneakers for a casual and sporty look, but we recommend adding a special and memorable detail to those denim days. Our Dahlia Flip Flops from the Fashionista Collection feature cool blue florals that immediately inspire calm and tranquility. Blue crystal accents toward the front of the flip flop add just the right amount of sparkle to an everyday denim outfit. Whether you choose to wear a crisp white t-shirt with relaxed-fit jeans or a sophisticated blouse with dark, tailored jeans, these flip flops will suit all your denim dreams.

BEACH DAY BLISS

Flip flops and beach days go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you've ever enjoyed a beach getaway, then you likely have a pair of foam flip flops in your closet. But we can guarantee you've never seen flip flops like these: the Surf Flip Flops from our Calypso Shell Collection. While most beach flip flops are completely flat, offering little-to-no support, this pair features a flattering and comfortable 1.5 inch heel to elevate your summer looks. The attractive shell design with sparkling blue crystal accents are ready for your beach blanket moment and long walks in the moonlight. Imagine how pretty these flip flops would look with a gauzy white caftan!

WORK TO PLAY

If you work in a setting that permits you to wear open-toed shoes, or you're able to observe casual Fridays during the summer months, then you'll definitely want to claim a pair of our Bowie Flip Flops. Go from 5pm to after-work plans without ever changing your shoes! Save yourself the discomfort of stiff and restrictive work shoes and instead walk comfortably from work to play. Featuring a high-gloss finish and halo-wrapped crystal details, this pair is so chic and glamorous that no one will notice they're actually flip flops. We love wearing these with a black pencil skirt or ankle-length, black ponte pants.

DESIGNER DATE NIGHT

Who says date night requires heels? Our Loving Flip Flops from the Fashionista Collection is the perfect pair for kicking back with your other half, and you won't have to sacrifice on sophistication. Consider styling these flip flops with a flowing pink or yellow maxi dress or a flirty white sundress. If you're planning to attend any weddings this summer, you'll also definitely want to stash these in your bag for dance floor fun without the aching feet. You'll attract compliments not only for your style but also for your smarts.

We hope you're clearing space in your closet because there's truly a flip flop for every situation and mood! Whether you're relaxing in the sand, meeting friends for happy hour, running errands, or enjoying a day on the town, we have the ideal flip flop for you. Flip flop season only lasts for a limited amount of time, so we encourage you to build your wardrobe before summer passes in a flash! Shop all flip flops here.
