Ask any fashion editor and they’re tell you the same thing: Black flip flops are a summer shoe staple that’s worth its weight in gold. With a simplistic design and a ’90s edge, the chic sandal trend is a long-enduring favourite for good reason. Whether selected in a rubbery material and worn with a bikini or plucked in a more premium leather and styled with a chic white dress, I always find myself coming back to my favourite black flip flops throughout the summer.
In an attempt to showcase their versatility, below, I’ve chronicled four of my favourite black flip-flop outfits that I know I’ll wear on repeat this season. Scroll on to see just how fashion people are styling theirs.
4 BLACK FLIP-FLIP OUTFITS TO TRY THIS SUMMER
1. BLACK FLIP FLOPS + MINISKIRT
Style Notes: Black flip flops are a humble wardrobe investment that are more of a footwear all-rounder than you might have initially expected. Beyond predictable denim shorts or bikini pairings, a sleek black pair can style well with a playful mini to give your favourite skirt a relaxed twist. With simple, clean lines, this chic shoe trend adds a casual edge to any skirt I can think of.

2. BLACK FLIP FLOPS + BAGGY JEANS

3. BLACK FLIP FLOPS + WHITE DRESS

4. BLACK FLIP FLOPS + COTTON SHORTS
Style Notes: Lean in to the laid-back nature of black flip flops and style them with an equally relaxed pair of shorts. Whilst denim is a classic option, the cotton shorts trend has been emerging this season, and I’m inspired by the new-season silhouette. Dress up with gold jewellery and finish with a relaxed shirt or a logo tank.
