The humble flip-flop sandal, a summer classic beloved all around the world, is having a moment as the shoe of the summer, and Kylie Jenner is on board. Yes, we know — flip-flops for summer? Groundbreaking! However, the shoe has made a comeback after years of all-Birkenstock everything, giving us a reason to put our slides in storage and flip-flop around instead.
Kylie Jenner and her sister Kendall Jenner embarked on a sunny vacation to Mallorca, Spain, where they soaked up the sunshine on a boat, did some paddleboarding, ate lots of delicious food, saw the sights, and, of course, got all dressed up.

For a day out, Jenner paired her bright red dress with a pair of simple, classic black flip flops — nothing fancy, just an easy, goes-with-everything black sandal that is beyond easy to slip on for brunch or the beach.
Because Jenner's shoes are so simple and label-less, we're not 100% sure the exact pair she's wearing, but knowing Jenner, they're probably The Row's Beach Flip-Flop. The Olsen sisters' beloved quiet luxury brand sent flip-flops down the runway for spring and summer, giving the shoe a major fashion insider boost and setting them up as a major summer must-have.
For a similar look at a much less intimidating price point, try Madewell's chic leather Gabi Thong Slide or opt for the beyond iconic Havianas Slim Flip-Flop, a budget-friendly $26 shoe that has been worn by legions of celebs, including Jenner herself.
Sandal trends come and go, but the flip-flop shoe is truly timeless. As seen in her video, Jenner paired the black sandals with a red dress and bold gold earrings for a day out, but they are also great with some jeans and a loose button-upon if you want to make the look more city-appropriate — after all, we all can't jet off to Majorca! Sun, sand, sightseeing — a fresh pair of flip-flops will be there for you no matter what your summer plans are.
