Jelly sandals are the latest nostalgic item Gen Z is reviving. While sheer fabrics and mesh details have been on the gen’s radar for a few fashion cycles now, the latest throwback piece making its way into Gen Z’s closets is jelly sandals, an iconic ‘90s staple. This time, though, the revival feels a little more elevated. The Row’s version of the flats made of translucent PVC first re-popularized the style, getting young people styling them with everything from flowy dresses to wide-leg jeans. Now, jelly sandals are everywhere—from high fashion runways to affordable finds at Old Navy and even a pair from SKIMS—and Gen Z is buying in. TikToks of influencers claiming the jelly sandal is the shoe of the summer are going viral, too—and we know Gen Z is totally in charge of what trendy item ends up in stores. (Who What Wear)
