We all remember the red carpets of the early 2000s: thin scarves, useless belts, and ridiculous layering. Hollywood shaped our wardrobes, and even the most Scandinavian closets included LA staples better suited for the beach – more specifically, a pair of flip flops. In 2018, the shoe conquered Copenhagen Fashion Week. The unexpected cobble-stone clapping It-shoe could be spotted on Rotate founders Jeanette Madsen and Thora Valdimars when they debuted their first collection, and has been a steady staple in their sought-after street style since.

Having established the flip flops sartorial stance as a summer staple staying put in our wardrobes year-upon-year, there's still the matter of whittling down the best versions to buy. Whether you seek flats, heels or platforms, Vogue Scandinavia has curated the flip flops to covet this summer below.
