Fashion People Have Officially Crowned the ‘It’ Sandals of Summer—and They’re So The Row-Coded
The cult jelly flip-flops have quietly become the sandal fashion people are wearing with linen trousers, dresses and Bermuda shorts all summer long.
It's officially flip-flop season, and whilst my Instagram feed is awash with stylish women wearing everything from Havaianas and Bobbies to The Row's now-iconic Dune sandals, there's one pair I keep spotting above all the rest: Ancient Greek Sandals' Saionara Jelly flip-flops. This season, it's the glossy red pair in particular that's quietly reached cult status.

In many ways, they feel like the natural successor to The Row's now-iconic Dune flip-flops, which sparked fashion's obsession with elevated thong sandals and, more recently, unexpected pops of red. The Saionaras capture that same understated appeal, but with a softer, more playful sensibility. Crafted from translucent PVC, they catch the light in a way that almost resembles glass, bringing subtle texture and interest to even the simplest outfit.
What I love most, though, is their versatility. They look just as at home styled with linen trousers and oversized shirts as they do with cotton poplin dresses, Bermuda shorts or a slinky black skirt for dinner. Equal parts nostalgic and directional, they're the sort of sandals that quietly pull an outfit together without ever competing for attention.
