This Is The Only Pair Of Flip Flops You Will Ever Need

ICYMI, summer is the season to heat up your wardrobe with playful patterns, bold metallics and statement glitter. And if you’re more of a t-shirt and jean shorts kind of girl (because…sweat), then the best way to get a leg (foot?) up on summer style is with your flip flops. That’s why we’ve partnered with Havaianas, the Brazilian sandal makers behind the stylish flip-flops that will take you from the beach, to the pool, to a night out and back again this summer.  

Not to be dramatic, but my Havaianas sandals have changed my life. I live in New York City where locally owned bodegas and corner stores are a way of life—and no one in my life has seen me looking worse than the clerks that run them. The manager at my Brooklyn corner store (whaddup, Mohammed) has passed a number of judgmental looks my way when I’ve come in hungover at 8 a.m. for Gatorade in a pair of untied sneakers. But when I dropped in for an 11 a.m. pint of ice cream last week (don’t judge me) wearing my You Saint Tropez Flip Flops from Havaianas, Mohammed asked if I was leaving for vacation. That’s because the sandals’ bright colorway played up my jean shorts and plain cotton t-shirt—all while making me feel totally comfy on my dessert run.  

And because home girl’s on a budget, I’m also obsessed with how durable my Havaianas are. I know nothing is going to puncture through the cushioned sole when I’m bumping shoulders through Times Square, and I feel completely confident that I’ll make it to the subway blister-free every day. 

They’re also super easy to pack, so when I do have the blessing of actually leaving the fresh hell that is New York City weather during the summer (the whole island turns into an IRL microwave), I’ll be slipping them into my carry-on with zero problems. They’re perfect for the Jitney ride to the Hamptons, my trip to Greece later this month and all of the long-weekend beach trips I plan to use my sick days for this summer. Basically, if you want a timeless piece that makes you feel like you’re on vacation every day of the year, these are your guys.
