Since spring is right around this corner, this also means that flip flop season is finally here. As exciting as this season is, it is almost just as exciting and extremely important to start preparing. This includes, of course, scheduling a pedicure to scrub up those winter feet, and put on a bright and fun nail polish color. The next step is to update your shoe collection to make sure you have all of the right flip flop styles for the spring and summer. This includes a pair of beach flip flops, casual flip flops, and dressier flip flops. We’ve put together a list of our favorite and the cutest options for these categories to make sure you are always in style.

Beach flip flops

When preparing for a day at the beach you don’t need to invest a lot of money into a good pair of flip flops since you probably won’t be wearing them the entire time and the sand can sometimes damage a nice pair of sandals. However at the same time you do need something to get from point A to point B, which is why a simple and classic pair of rubber flip flops. These are usually so inexpensive that you can even spring for a couple of pairs, and mix it up with different bright colors to make sure you get through both the spring and summer seasons, since the beach will most likely be calling your name more than once.

Casual flip flops

These flip flops need to have more support than the plastic pair because you will most likely be walking around more in these. Try a pair of reef flip flops or rainbow flip flops. Both of these flip flops are well known for their comfort and durability, so just one pair will be sufficient for both sunny seasons. These flip flops work great for casual backyard get-togethers or just walking around and enjoying the sun. Plus one cool party trick feature is that some reefs come with a bottle opener on the bottom so you will always be prepared.

Dressy flip flops

While this category can also fall closer to the sandals group, the flip flop strap style is still present and looks great with a summer or spring dress. Go for flip flops with feminine embellishments on them, like sparkles, bows, or flowers. Or for some extra height try out this wedge flip flop from K Jacques St. Tropez.
