THE JELLY EDIT The shoe that started as a childhood memory and ended up on the runway. We tracked down every version worth owning — from $14.99 to $670.

There is something quietly subversive about jelly sandals. They are, technically, plastic. And yet here they are — gracing the feet of the Chloé runway, reimagined by Hermès, coveted by every fashion editor with a Mykonos flight booked. The jelly has completed its full arc: beach toy to bonafide fashion object. The question is no longer if you wear them. It's which ones.


We did the work. Seventeen picks, every price point, all the right energy.



HERMÈS MYKONOS SANDAL — $465













The definitive luxury jelly. Hermès makes a jelly and let me tell you, it's COMFORTABLE! These are incredibly chic, can be dressed up or down, deceptively simple and instantly recognizable to anyone who knows. These are the perfect vacation jelly because you can wear them to the beach, by the pool, or to dinner! You either know, or you will.


Shop → Hermès


OLD NAVY JELLY SANDAL — $14.99


The most essential option on this list — and one of the most satisfying. Old Navy's jelly is the reason this trend belongs to everyone. It's super affordable but still has that high fashion look. You can grab it in a few colors at this price point and not worry about leaving it by the pool.


Buy two. Shop → Old Navy



CHRISTOPHER ESBER JO PVC FLIP FLOP — $300















Handmade in Italy from clear and light-brown PVC. The 'Jo' is understated in the best possible way — swimsuits, tailoring, everything. One of the most quietly cool picks on this list. This is easy to wear around town with jeans, linen pants, dresses and more, the versatility is endless.



MAEVE FOR ANTHROPOLOGIE POINTED-TOE JELLY — $58
















A pointed toe on a jelly sandal is, frankly, genius. It bridges the gap between the shoe's casual origins and something far more elevated. This one earns its place, and that color is to die for. This is the one everyone will be stopping you for. High fashion designer look without the price tag, its a no-brainer.


Shop → Anthropologie


CHLOÉ JELLY MULE — $670















The one that started the conversation. The one on everyone's wishlist. A gathered knot at the toe, a curved kitten heel, an embossed Chloé logo. It's every little girls dream shoe, come to life and right off the runway. Available in spearmint, blush pink, ash grey, and amber brown. Wear it with wide-leg linen, a short dress, a cute matching set, no matter what you pair it with, the shoes will complete the look.


Shop → Chloé



DOLCE VITA JAM FLAT — $65













If you're going to buy a pair of caged jelly's, these are the ones. The tortoise colorway is this season's quiet update to the classic clear, and the toe shape and open top makes this pair incredibly flattering on the foot. Dolce Vita nails the trend at a price that makes impulse-buying entirely justified.


Shop → Dolce Vita


GUCCI JELLY SANDAL — $550















Gucci's take brings the house's signature design to a simple jelly sandal is splurge-worthy. The simple details, the cut of the toe box, even the bone color make this sandal feel rich, even though it's made of rubber, and thats no easy feat! These are not to be missed!


Shop → Net-a-Porter



JEFFREY CAMPBELL BEACH JELLY FLIP FLOP — $40














The flat, no-fuss version. When the only agenda is looking good by doing nothing, this is it. A cute pop of color can go a long way in making a simple outfit look fun, thoughtful and put together.


Shop → Anthropologie


VERONICA BEARD CLEA JELLY — $325
















These might be my favorite on the entire list! Polished-casual done right. They are fun, flirty, sexy, casual and look incredibly expensive. There are a hundred different ways to style these and I know you're gonna love every one. Veronica Beard always has a few MUST HAVE pieces every season, and this is definitely one of them.


Shop → Shopbop



STEVE MADDEN JELLY — $59













Steve Madden always has his finger on what's about to be everywhere. This pick is for the reader who wants to be ahead of the curve without spending ahead of it. The thong heeled sandal, the tortoise color way, all very hot this season. This one checks a lot of boxes at once, it just the perfect mix of what we all need in our closet right now.

The heeled jelly for anyone who wants elevation — literally — without sacrificing ease, style, comfort, or $. Jeffrey Campbell consistently delivers runway adjacency at a fraction of the price.

VINCE SAN JUAN JELLY — $298


















Now this just screams designer and chic. Vince does minimalism better than almost anyone at this price point. The San Juan is clean, refined, luxurious and utterly wearable. A wardrobe workhorse that happens to be a jelly. And that leather sole is the upgrade we didn't know we needed to make these shoes feel lux and comfortable at the same time.


Shop → Shopbop


LOEFFLER RANDALL DANA STRAPPY JELLY — $175














Strappy, sophisticated, and a genuine step up from the average flip flop. The Dana is for the woman who wants her jelly to do a little more work. The metal detail makes these feel more refined and wearable with any outfit.
