It's true—fashion enthusiasts are exchanging their foam flip flops for this more sophisticated option.

      Though I will always have a fondness for classic foam flip flops during the peak of summer, I can't help but acknowledge that some styles are a bit too casual for anything other than the beach. My reliable Havaianas will always be a staple in my seaside bag, but when I'm heading into the city, I tend to opt for something a bit more refined, such as suede or leather options. There's a balance to maintain. This week, however, I discovered a fresh take that might achieve that elusive sweet spot: studded flip flops. A bit tougher than the usual colorful options, yet not so polished that they feel out of place with denim shorts or a linen dress, these embellished styles are making their mark this season.

      Already gaining popularity among celebrities, I noticed Irina Shayk showcasing her pair during her time in Cannes this week. She styled them with relaxed trousers, a simple tee, and a leather jacket, allowing her studded flip flops to complement the casual vibe of her trousers while retaining a sleek and minimalist aesthetic that suits the elegant setting so well.

      An easy addition to a warm-weather wardrobe, I've seen them paired with everything from relaxed tailoring to casual jeans. A pair featuring slim leather straps and micro-studs can elevate basic jeans, while chunkier styles with larger embellishments are perfect for more fashion-forward looks.

      Below, I've compiled a selection of the best studded flip flops available now. Continue reading to find my favorite pairs.
