Luxury designers are partnering with slipper brands to bring flip-flops into high-fashion, including studded and jelly-sandal styles. Styling them can feel difficult because the options are endless and the shoes can look casual. Easy outfit upgrades include keeping flip-flops sleek with expensive-looking fabrics and neutral tones, or using a model-off-duty approach with a long-sleeved tee and jeans.

A simple street-style formula can also work for cooler spring and summer days.
"Even luxury designers are crashing the party, dropping high-end collabs with known slipper brands to give the look a major promotion. Isabel Marant's Havaianas launch is flaunting studs, while Ganni's partnership with Melissa is delivering cute jelly sandals with ribbon-esque straps.

"A few took notes from minimalist icons Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, who managed the impossible and elevated their slippers.

The maximalists were well represented, too."

"It's simple yet undeniably cool - the epitome of sleek model-off-duty dressing. I can already see myself recreating this outfit on cooler spring and summer days paired with summer's staple: flip-flo"
