Leave it to Mary-Kate and Ashley to revive a trend. After having major moments in the ’80s, ’90s and another in the early 2000s, the controversial jelly shoes have weaseled their way back into our hearts and onto our feet. In large part thanks to The Row’s Mara Rubber Mesh Ballerina Flats — recently sported by none other than Jennifer Lawrence — the undying footwear style has made its resurgence for summer 2024.
It also feels like spring’s mesh flat craze — which is still very much alive — eased our way back into its slightly more adventurous jellied sister. And just like mesh Mary Janes and ballerina flats, jelly sandals pair effortlessly with summer dresses, midi skirts, white linen pants and distressed denim cut-offs.
