As fun as it can be to explore all the new shoe trends to elevate your outfits — like the chic metallic shoe trend, for instance — some footwear products aren't just trendy but are also seasonal wardrobe staples. One crucial form of footwear for a specific season is a pair of flip-flops. Think of it this way: it's a hot, sunny summer day, and you're walking by the pool or beach. You'll have to let your feet breathe, so what other types of shoes would you wear on a day like that? Boots? Pumps? Sneakers? We think not. Thus, everyone should have some reliable flip-flops in their closet.

But don't assume that flip-flops are boring or limited because they're practical and a seasonal footwear staple. Nowadays, there are countless options of flip-flops to choose from, as they come in an impressive variety of colors, patterns, designs, and materials. Therefore, flip-flops can be super fashionable and comfortable for any hot-weather activity on your summery agenda.

How we selected the flip-flops

We want our readers to have the best of the best. That's why we spend as much time as we need to thoroughly research and compare all the products we consider for our roundups here at Glam, whether we're recommending high-waisted jeans that will flatter any body type or stylish flip-flops. Plus, we don't keep our research broad. Instead, we conduct our search based on specific categories we think our readers will care about, such as patterns or price points. Then, we dive into these categories to find the best items possible. In this case, we focused on finding the best flip-flops for certain price points, style trends, and more.

You'll never get an ambiguous, quickly thrown-together list when you read our roundups because we know you deserve much better than that. Hence, when we read countless product descriptions and customer reviews, we ask ourselves if we would be willing to purchase the products we show you. If the answer is no, we don't add those items to the roundup and keep looking for something better. So, we're very excited about all the flip-flops we included in this article!
