Shop the trend: 15 jelly flats for summer
Last summer, jelly flats were everywhere. A blend of nostalgia, trend and function, they were the shoe we couldn't get away from.
Though some may have debated their "cute" factor, we found jelly flats styled successfully with a range of spring and summer outfits, pairing them with everything from linen pants and denim jeans to dresses, beachwear and beyond.
Jelly shoes are now circling back for summer 2026, with styles trending on Amazon and launching again at top retailers.
In April, Madewell and the "original jelly" shoe brand, Melissa, teamed up to launch a reimagined jelly thong sandal inspired by Melissa's heritage. The resulting sandal has a simple, clean, "barely-there" silhouette that comes in five versatile colors. If a flip-flop is your go-to, consider these for a less intimidating pick in keeping with your personal style. To add just a bit of height, try the Jeffrey Campbell Gummy Thong Sandal, which is now a bestseller in heeled sandals at Revolve.
We're seeing a lot of jelly mules for women from brands like Old Navy, Bibi Lou, Vince, and Jeffrey Campbell, plus ballet flats from H&M, Dolce Vita, ASOS and beyond. Opt for clear, light blue, or light pink colorways to elongate the leg, or try a pair in tortoise or red if your outfit would benefit from a statement shoe.
With such popularity, there are jelly shoes available at a wide range of price points, so you can choose to invest in the trend or go with a less committal budget option.
