Kylie Jenner is back in Los Angeles after her Mallorca vacation with sister Kendall Jenner, leaving behind the barefoot beach days in favor of other summery footwear more suitable for nights out with friends frequenting California’s trendiest restaurants.

During her latest dinner outing to celebrate bestie Stassie Karanikolaou’s birthday, Kylie Jenner opted for an outfit consisting of a white bodycon mini dress, a black leather bomber jacket, and sandals that deserve a close analysis for being a hybrid of flip-flops and mules.

Featuring a classic toe sandal configuration with a twist, Jenner’s choice of shoe reminds us of flip-flops, but its square sole and slight heel also make them more akin to mules. If Jenner’s shoes caught your fancy, they are the Aracne mules from Italian brand Sergio Rossi, which come in an array of colors aside from the beige she favored. (Jenner has been a fan of the brand as of late, also rocking custom-heeled slingbacks to the Met Gala 2024.)

Jenner’s white dress comes courtesy of the brand DEFAÏENCE, and her bag is Alexander Wang. Though the dress certainly has major summer vibes, the shoes are the most interesting part of Jenner’s ‘fit, stylistically speaking, because of their versatility. They can be worn on an evening out with friends, like in Kylie Jenner’s case, and can be dressed down and styled more casually for the daytime with lightweight dresses, jeans, skirts, and even capri pants.

Simple, minimalist, and easy to pair with multiple other items, that’s how Kylie Jenner likes her summer shoes.
