JELLY SHOES ARE SO BACK – HERE ARE 8 STYLES TO KNOW

We’ve got a soft spot for cyclical fashion. This time around, it’s jelly shoes that have our attention, and our inner child is screaming with excitement. These 90s icons were prevalent throughout Chloe's SS26 show, and Jennifer Lawrence has been spotted in them too, so naturally we're obsessed. Big on comfort and even bigger on injecting a playful element into your summer looks, jelly shoes are set to be the It-shoe of the season. Scroll to see the styles we're coveting.

If you want a grown-up take on the childhood classic, look no further than a pair of jelly mules – there’s just something about all the different shapes that feels chic, from SEQWL’s bright red caged slipper to ASOS DESIGN’s muted taupe flats. They don’t all have to be flats, either. Public Desire’s kitten keels are made for cropped jeans and mini skirts, and they’ll take you from the pool to the dancefloor on holiday without missing a step.

Jelly ballet flats are possibly the closest you’ll get to the closed-toe sandals of your childhood, but unlike those pairs, they’ll take you more places than just the beach. The sheer material and latticework means they’re the perfect pair for statement socks – think bright colours, textured fabrics or frilly finishes. Or wear yours solo with an accent anklet.

Flip flops are having even more of a moment than usual this spring, so why not combine two trends in one with a jelly version? We like ASOS DESIGN’s cherry-coloured pair, which tick all the 90s boxes when worn with indigo denim. If you want something to put some real pep in your step, slide into Glamorous’ black bow version. They’re just the right side of retro, so wear yours with 50s-inspired capri pants and a polka-dot top.
