Jennifer Lopez’s comfortable shoes are from Havaianas

When you live in New York City, wearing flip-flops on the street is questionable—but to be honest, I’m all for it. How can you not join in when they’re officially part of the luxurious minimalist uniform thanks to Elle Fanning, Zoë Kravitz, and Jennifer Lawrence? (TL;DR, they’re not the basic flip-flops you’d wear by the pool—they’re So much cooler than that.)

The chic flip-flops I’m adding to your wardrobe come from classic Brazilian sandal brand Havaianas. The beauty lies in their understated design, which offers a cushioned, waterproof, non-slip rubber footbed that has found millions of buyers since 1962 – and makes cleaning the shoes a breeze. The lightweight sandals also come in sizes 5 to 12 and have even gained the approval of numerous celebrities.

Havaianas flip flops

Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez (shoutout to all you Jens!) are fans of the easy-going brand and have worn Havaianas on numerous occasions. Barbie Ferreira, who launched her own Havaiana flip-flop line, even wore a custom pair to the Vogue Ball in February, while Alessandra Ambrosio donned the shoes for a practical after-yoga look.

But Havaianas sandals aren’t just for celebs – especially with an affordable starting price of $12. I currently have three pairs in my fashion rotation and wear them daily for quick coffee breaks, local errands, and casual outfits. They’re perfect for relaxing at home, they’re my post-shower footwear, and my plush morning shoes. Best of all, they’re super durable; they stand the test of time, and I have peace of mind knowing the front strap won’t pop off mid-step.

They’re also great for keeping your feet fresh during the hot, muggy months. Unlike sneakers and ballet flats, the open design allows air to circulate, preventing sweaty, smelly feet. Plus, you now officially have the perfect excuse for a fresh pedicure.

But what I love most about Havaianas flip flops is that they let your personality shine. Grab a pretty pink pair if you’re feeling extra girly, a neutral bronze version for versatile wear, or a bold printed design.
