The Flip-Flop Is Having a Fashion Moment (Again)

The Flip-Flop Is Having a Fashion Moment (Again)

Flip-flops always come back when the culture starts craving ease. But this time, the best pairs aren't just "beach shoes"—they're styling tools. That's why the Isabel Marant x Havaianas flip-flops are landing so well: they keep the relaxed Brazilian DNA, but add a Parisian polish that makes them feel outfit-worthy.

If you've been looking for a sandal that reads cool girl, not pool day, this is the one.

What's Actually in the Isabel Marant x Havaianas Drop

This capsule is essentially two moods:

  • The printed classics (the iconic Havaianas silhouette, reworked with Isabel Marant's signature print energy)
  • The elevated, studded styles (more "luxury sandal" than rubber flip-flop—still simple, but styled)

The reason it works: contrast. A minimal shoe, with one deliberate detail. Shop the full drop here.

Isabel Marant x Havaianas Price, Colours & Sizing (Quick Facts)

  • Top Ikat (tie-dye print): £120 · Colours: Red, Sand, Grey · Sizes: 35/36–45/46
  • Maxi Puff (voluminous faux-leather straps + rounded silver studs): £195 · Colours: Beige, Black · Sizes: 35/36–41/42

How to Style Them so They Don't Feel Gimmicky

The secret is to style them like you'd style a sleek flat, not like you'd style a flip-flop.

Pair with:

  • oversized tailoring (linen trousers, long shorts, relaxed blazers)
  • a clean tank + a strong bag
  • denim that's either very classic or very intentional (long shorts, straight jeans)
  • a minimal dress that lets the shoe be the quiet point of difference

Avoid: overly "resort" outfits that make them feel costume-y. The most modern version is always slightly undone.

The Two Best Ways to Wear Them in 2026

1) Clean editorial

Black flip-flops + crisp white cotton + dark sunglasses + one sculptural bag. The vibe is: I'm not trying, but I'm not random.

2) Soft luxury

Cream/neutral flip-flops + warm tones (sand, oat, cocoa) + tactile textures (linen, crochet, raffia). This is the easiest way to make them feel expensive.

Where to Buy (and What I'd Choose)

The collaboration is framed as "two worlds, one shared unapologetic attitude"—Isabel Marant's Parisian boho meeting Havaianas' Brazilian ease, in a limited-edition capsule built around two hero styles (and yes, they're already selling fast):

  • Isabel Marant Top Ikat — the iconic Havaianas silhouette reimagined with an Isabel Marant exclusive tie-dye print (boho, easy, very "collab-coded").
  • Isabel Marant Maxi Puff — a new upper with voluminous faux-leather straps finished with rounded silver studs (more "luxury sandal" energy).

Both styles are finished with an exclusive Isabel Marant pin and Havaianas' signature metallic logo.

If you want the most wearable pair, go for:

  • black (reads sharp, city-friendly)
  • beige/neutral (reads expensive, quietly styled)

If you want the most "collaboration-coded" pair, go for the Top Ikat print (especially red if you want the statement).

The Bottom Line

If you've been wanting a summer shoe that feels effortless and styled, this is the point: familiar, but upgraded. Choose Top Ikat for the print-and-pop, or Maxi Puff for the quieter, more elevated pair—and build the outfit around the contrast.
