Fashion People Have Worn These Low-Key, Affordable Sandals For Decades to Make Their Outfits Look Cool

When it comes to summer shoes in 2025, one thing is clear: It's all about the flip flop. Leather styles, suede styles, even jelly styles! The most stylish people are all returning to the simple thong sandal to finish off their warm-weather looks in a cool, laid-back way. But the iconic shoe style all began with one brand you might have heard of: Havaianas.

Creator of the flip flop, the now-global brand first produced their rubber flip flops back in 1962 in Brazil, inspired by the traditional Japanere Zori sandal. And while it started from humble beginnings, the billion-dollar brand now sells around 200 million pairs every year and has collaborated with the likes of Saint Laurent, Gigi Hadid (the brand's global ambassador), and even Zara this summer. With thousands of colourways, collabs and iterations out there, we thought it was time to drill down into what the very best Havaianas flip flops styles are.

Keep scrolling to see the pairs we think are worthy of a place in your summer shoe rotation, as well as some inspiration for how to wear them like a celebrity or fashion person.
