The Summer Sandal Edit: These are 10 of our editors’ favourite jandals for summer
Flip flops, thongs, jandals—no matter what you call them, they’re undeniably a summer essential, and as the ever-revolving fashion cycle dictates, quite a chic one at that. Here are a few of our favourite pairs to take you from the beach to the bach and maybe even the bar for the months ahead.
Havaianas Top Flip Flops
Old faithful; when I think about all the makings of a girlhood summer, Havaianas have almost always been by our side. Switch out the slender silhouette with a thicker, sturdier strap. Beyond the beach, I love wearing these on summer evenings with baggy, well-worn jeans.
A highbrow alternative to rubber pluggers, these jandals from The Row possess all the makings of the Olsen twins’ brand’s signature sensibilities. Refined, slender and leather, these jandals are designed to pound the pavement.
Mere technicality makes these it-girl-favoured wedges a jandal, but I’ll take any opportunity to add them to this list. Dress them up or down with a dress or your favourite jeans—hell, you can even wear them to the beach if you please. 
Christopher Esber Jo Flip Flop
The nostalgic discomfort of jellies prevails with Christopher Esber’s take on the classic shape. I love these for poolside moments, where the practicality of plastic meets a decidedly cool edge.
Ancient Greek Sandals Charys Leather Sandals
With design cues adopted from The Row’s most loved silhouettes, these fun and bulbous leather sandals come at a much more accessible price point.
Salomon Reelax Break Flip Flop
Carrying on our global obsession with the outdoors brand, these jandals are sure to withstand even the most technical activities for the months ahead.
Gucci Thong Sandal with Double G
‘Gucci Flip Flops’ went harder than necessary, but there’s something about this sleek and elevated pair that seems the antithesis of everything once sung about. I envisage them worn on a yacht with a cotton sarong and a spritz in hand.
Crocs Getaway Platform Flip
Sturdy, lightweight and just the right amount of chunky (as all Crocs should be), I’m taking this as my cue to veer from neutral colours and opt for something fun and bold. Sunkissed feels just right.
Gianvito Rossi Embellished Leather Flip Flops
A must-have for the maximalist in your life. These beaded jandals inspire whimsy and wanderlust, which if you ask me, are two non-negotiables, no matter the time of year.
These jandals are the perfect blend of gorpcore and dadcore, taking that climbing crew aesthetic all the way to the beach.
