If You Hate Flip-Flops, Try the Viral Sandal Trend Everyone With Good Taste Is Wearing This Summer
Flip-flops will never go out of style, but this trending alternative feels so fresh for summer 2025.


While clothing trends seem to move at breakneck speed, sandal trends tend to tread a more leisurely path. Every now and then, however, a fresh sandal style breaks through the noise, breathing new life into our summer wardrobes. And with the sun finally making a more consistent appearance, I’ve found myself eager to refresh my sandal collection. At the top of my wishlist? Rope sandals.
Rope sandals are casual yet full of character, and they balance laid-back ease with a playful flair, due to the textured straps detailing that weaves around the foot, adding a subtle nautical twist, while cushioned footbed and utilitarian design keep them rooted in practicality.
Though available in a rainbow of shades, it’s the red versions that are getting a lot of love this season. They're just enough to lift an outfit without overpowering it. This impactful trend offers an easy way to weave contrast into your everyday rotation.
Rope sandals offer a welcome dose of charm and personality and a spirited alternative to the black leather flip-flops that have dominated our feeds for the past few summers.
While they might feel like a fresh trend for summer 2025, they’ve been quietly building momentum for a little while now. Miu Miu pioneered the trend with its spring/summer 2024 runway show—unsurprisingly, a full year ahead of the curve.
