Kylie Jenner Embraces Summer’s Wildest Flip-Flops

Love it or loathe it, it’s undeniably the summer of flip-flops. The humble beach shoe, favored for its simplicity and ease, has been trending in a more high-fashion context this season. Suddenly, there are now celebrities wearing $750 The Row flip-flops with bright red soles, or flip-flops with sky-high platforms that are totally reminiscent of the ’90s. The sandal has become less about something you wear to take a quick dip in the ocean, and more about making a bold statement.

Naturally, Kylie Jenner is embracing the latter: She just posted an Instagram ’fit pic in which she is rocking one of the wildest flip-flops on the market. “The energy I’m bringing to my shoot today,” Jenner captioned her selfie, in which she is rocking a death-defying pair of ERL clunkers. Coming in with a staggering 5-inch platform, the $375 style requires serious balancing skills, and instantly commands an outfit. Jenner styled them with a black bra top and athletic track pants, allowing them to be the focal point. (I mean, the supersized shoes are hard to miss.)
