The Shoe Of The Season: Thong Sandal Revival
Minimal, versatile, and everywhere—this is how we’re styling them now
Not your average flip-flop, thong sandals have easily become the shoe of the season. The Y-shaped strapped sandal is the epitome of a classic, minimalist shoe. And, just in time for summer, the easygoing silhouette has revived from the ‘90s.
We’re wearing thong sandals with every outfit and for every occasion. Whether it’s a corporate look or a breezy summer outfit, open-toe shoes are a new staple, completing every vibe.

This season, it’s all about versatility—think sleek leather pairs for a polished feel, barely-there straps for a more delicate look, or even chunkier soles and kitten heels that add a bit of edge. Styled with oversized button-downs, linen sets, or slip dresses, thong sandals are no longer just a beach-day default—they’re a fashion statement in their own right.
Dressed down with shorts or elevated with a skirt or dress, thong sandals slip on with an ease that feels both intentional and understated. A neutral or black pair seamlessly completes a classic look, while a pop of color or subtle animal print adds just enough interest to finish the outfit.
