Leather flip-flops will always have a place in my wardrobe, but if you’re looking for a flip-flop that feels just a little more playful this summer, there’s another style I have to point you towards.
Spotted beachside this week, Eva Longoria swapped classic leather pairs for a set of clear flip-flops, styling the trend with high-waisted denim shorts and a simple bikini top. Bringing an easy-going energy to her outfit, Eva’s transparent flip-flops leaned into the season’s favourite shoe silhouette, all the while offering the practicality needed for beachside styling. Unlike leather styles, the rubberised construction copes with sand and water, making them a smart choice for holidays and beach days.

Whilst their casual nature makes them a natural partner for denim shorts, I also love the idea of using them to bring a playful twist to this season’s knee-length skirts and elegant midi dresses, as the transparent finish means they pair well with any shade.
