8 Trending Sandals for Women That Will Dominate in Summer 2025
Jelly shoes date back to the 1940s but became popular in the 1980s, and have made their way up and down the trend cycle since then. But they're back for summer 2025, thanks in part to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's luxurious line The Row; they launched a jelly flat in 2024 that was all the rage with celebs—and came with a celeb-worthy price tag. However, you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to get in on the jelly fun. There are so many inexpensive, budget-friendly jelly options in a variety of shoes styles. Try a jelly flip-flop with a slip dress or fisherman sandals with cutoff shorts. And the best part? You can easily wash them off if they get sticky or sandy.

Prefer to keep your toes mostly covered? If you live in a city, wearing closed-toe sandals may be your best bet for those long summer walks and hot subway rides. Fisherman sandals are a stylish fusion of a flat and a sandal, with a classic, timeless appeal. Mix things up with an unexpected texture like raffia or try a more delicate twist on the look with your favorite sundress.
