Last year, flip-flops might have been the fast and casual shoe you slipped into to pick up your prescription around the block — or perhaps you reserved them for sandy beach days — but Kylie Jenner just made them the star of her Italian summer vacation. The 27-year-old Khy founder and beauty mogul packed a total of three different iterations for her trip, including the TKEES Lily Liners ($60), TKEES Lily PLatforms ($95), and TKEES Lily Metallics ($60). She wore them with everything from a vintage leopard set (pictured above) to white pooling flares that dragged on the ground and bared just a hint of the classic thong silhouette as she walked.
Meanwhile, Jenner has also rocked a heeled version of the flip-flop for more polished ensembles (below), and judging from the other celebs who are on board — including Gigi Hadid (who has partnered with Havaianas, if that’s not convincing enough), Dua Lipa, Sofia Richie, and Lori Harvey — the shoe will no longer just be reserved for pool days, at least until further notice.
Where to Shop Kylie Jenner’s Flip-Flops
Jenner’s TKEES pairs in particular are available on the brand’s website in even more colorways, including neutral shades like Cocobutter, Sunkissed, and Biscuit. Those colorways may be prime options for a nude look, should you want to team them with floaty white boho dresses. We also love (and highly recommend) the TKEES Boyfriend Leather Flip Flop ($70), which boasts a thicker, luxe-looking leather strap; the Havaianas Slim Season Flip Flop ($13, originally $26) if you prefer a heavier rubber sole; and the Mango Leather Platform Wedge Flip Flop ($140) to achieve the ultimate minimalist, ’90s vibe.
If you’re more inclined to going-out options with a heel, shop the Cushionaire Miami Sandals ($40, originally $60), which are marked down with a great Amazon Prime Day deal; the Tony Bianco Topaz Flip Flop ($155-$160) for high quality and maximum comfort; or the Jeffrey Campbell Lollipop Kitten Heel Sandal ($30-$45, originally $60) for the tiniest little boost of height.
