Whilst there’s always a place for bells and whistles, this summer season, the humble flip-flop is having its moment in the sun. Usually reserved for shore-side strolls or trips from hotel room to pool, for 2025 rubber flip-flops have been given the sartorial seal of approval. After The Row introduced its viral, sell-out style back in 2024 (which will set you back nearly £700, may I add) it wasn’t long before the fashion pack quickly adopted the sandal style as a cool-girl take on easy summer dressing.
There’s one brand in particular which knows a thing or two about flip-flops. Introducing Sleepers, whose tapered square toe thongs not only make an ideal warm-weather companion but each pair is crafted using ethically sourced Sri Lankan rubber – and is fully biodegradable. With butter yellow one of the biggest colour trends for 2025, it’s no wonder this lemon pair is cropping up all over your Instagram feed.
Thought you couldn’t wear flip-flops to the office? Think again, as these eco rubber sandals will look just as good with a sarong and cozzie on the beach as they will with cotton button-down shirts and tailored trousers for the working week. Plus, if you're after a little extra height, there’s also a sturdy soled wedge version that gives plenty of Y2K clout.
