I’m usually one to listen to what Beyoncé has to say, but this summer, I do think I’m ready for this jelly. I happen to be talking about jelly sandals, because the chunky, cutesy sandals are so back in style this summer, and they’re even better than the elementary styles you rocked on the playground.
Let’s be honest: Little girl fashion gets a lot of things right that grown-ups should remember more often (like why have I spent hours on Etsy looking for elastic “bally” hair ties that I think would probs heal my inner child). Grown-up style in general is having a major nostalgic era (like throwing it back to 1767 when some women were milkmaids, or literally everything y2K coming back in style every year, for example). So, I’ll ask the brave question: don’t our toes deserve to be included??
I’m gonna go with a hard yes, which is why I’m oh so grateful some of my tried and true brands have released a lineup of dreamy sandals for every type of lady! From the sophisticated, business-casual girl bosses to the festival freaks who are on their feet all day, to the baddies who still want to look adorable at the club. I rounded up the cutest jelly sandals for summer, for all the girls, because duh.

These are basically the big kid version of the adorable AF jelly slides every ’90s baby had in her closet. The heel is visible enough to help with a flattering silhouette but still be walkable AF.

The fisherman vibe has been trending for a while now, and this affordable option from Amazon has now entered the chat! They come in several standout colors and look wildly similar to my go-to pair from Steve Madden (that I get compliments on every single time I wear, but are sadly discontinued).

This slick pick is for the corporate queens who probs aren’t allowed to dress like they’re walking onto a Moschino runway at 5:01 p.m.

Get the Pleaser pole shoe style without risking breaking your ankle.

Another take on the Fisherman flair, but this pair comes in spicy red and an alluring neutral option.

I love that these sandals are a throwback and look like they’re from the future at the same time. It’s like if The Matrix went camping, which is a p iconic aesthetic.

Okay, so these bad boys are for the girlies who are allowed to go to work dressed like they’re coming from Willy Wonka’s factory (it’s me, I’m that girl). These Betsey Johnson stunners scream “I’m just a girl who lives in la la world” in the best way possible, plus you can get $10 off with the code SWEETSPRING.

There’s something sporty and sexy about this opaque platform choice from Urban Outfitters that I’m a little bit obsessed with.
