First, came the black flip-flop revival. Then, we saw the comeback of jelly shoes. And now, the fashion world is going wild for a 50/50 fusion of the two. It’s official: 2025 is the summer of jelly flip-flops.

Not to play favorites, but Ancient Greek Sandals’ Saionara Jelly Flip-Flop is the crème de la crème of models for its mix of craftsmanship and nostalgia. A hand-stitched leather sole — that only gets better with wear — meets translucent straps in an assortment of bold and neutral hues.

Additional picks opt for a full rubber body (waterproof!) while others get a dressy upgrade with a kitten heel or buckled ankle strap. Below, see 11 jelly flip-flop highlights, ranging from $15 pairs to designer standouts.

Ancient Greek Sandals Saionara Jelly

We said it before and we’ll say it again, no one elevates this trend quite like Ancient Greek Sandals. The Saionara Jelly Flip-Flops blend a natural tan leather sole and a jelly thong strap, available in six colorways: blue, red, caramel, nude, clear and black.

Veronica Beard Clea Jelly Flip-Flop Sandal

Sold in four neutral shades, the Clea‘s leather footbed gets the addition of a sleek square toe.

Aqua Women’s Nuev Sandals (Bloomingdale’s Exclusive)

A vegan leather sole drops the price of this Bloomie’s-exclusive below $50.

Ancient Greek Sandals Jelly Flip Flop

Available in six colorways — caramel, pink, blue, green, clear and black — this pair from Ancient Greek is 100-percent rubber, fitting for either the beach or the streets.

Black Suede Studio Jeli Flat

Black Suede Studio makes another one of our absolute favorites. With a PVC upper and leather sole, this popular pair hits the butter yellow trend too.
