Between low-rise jeans, bug-eye sunglasses and graphic tees, it’s clear that 2026 is the year of the Noughties revival. And still, even with all the Y2K fashion that’s back on the agenda, one item I never expected to see back in my wardrobe is the jelly flip-flop.

Once considered tacky and dated, jelly flip flops are officially back in the forefront of people’s minds for summer 2026. And if you talk to any editor, influencer, or fashion person, chances are they’ll own at least one pair for the season ahead.

Reminiscent of the playful sandal styles that dominated the late ‘90s and my childhood in the early 2000s, but without the glitter, gems, and sparkles associated with them, the jelly flip-flops on the market right now are anything but gaudy. Instead, there is a myriad of chic and, more importantly, wearable iterations that lend themselves to easy, minimalist styling.

My personal favourite? Ancient Greek Sandals' Saionaras, which arguably kicked off the resurgence of the jelly shoe trend in the first place. However, whether you prefer a trusty high street hero or a luxury pair to invest in for many years to come, there are now plenty of stylish options on the market.

Keep scrolling to shop the best jelly flip flops for summer 2026 and beyond.
