Kylie Jenner Just Made Flip-Flops the Boldest Fashion Statement of the Summer

If there’s one thing we can count on in the ever-spinning carousel of fashion, it’s that the most unexpected trends always find their moment in the sun—sometimes quite literally. This summer, it’s flip-flops that are basking in the spotlight. Yes, the same humble rubber-soled sandals once reserved for public pools and sandy boardwalks are now strutting down the high-fashion path—and Kylie Jenner just gave them her stamp of approval.

Kylie, who is famous for elevating ordinary pieces into fashion gold, recently showed off her ability to make even the most basic outfit into a statement piece with the correct styling by going out in a pair of outrageously expensive flip-flops. However, these are not your typical sandals from the drugstore. 

Think sculptural soles, architectural straps, and eye-popping colors. Some, like the cult-favorite $750 flip flops from The Row, even feature designer touches like crimson bottoms that scream quiet luxury well, maybe not so quiet.
