With the weather finally set to improve over the coming weeks, we're looking to invest in a new pair of summer sandals to see us through the season.

Enter one of this year's hero styles – the smart leather flip flop. While you may think of the humble flip flop as a casual choice for days at the beach, it has had a total makeover for spring/summer 2021. No doubt inspired by the catwalks, where the trend first emerged, the high street is now bursting with stylish leather flip flops.

Marks & Spencer has now launched its own take on the sandal of the season, and they cost just £35. Available in white, black and tan, the M&S Collection Leather Flatform Flip Flops have shot straight to the top of our wish lists.

What to read next

They boast subtle flatform soles for a flattering and leg-lengthening effect with gentle padding for comfort.

Versatile and stylish, these sandals will instantly update your look for the new season. They'll also pair perfectly with everything from midi and maxi dresses to simple jeans.

We're clearly not alone in loving the look of M&S' leather flip flops. When the brand posted a snap of the white pair on its Instagram account, the post was flooded with likes. So, no surprises that some sizes already seem to be selling out. We'll race you to the checkout!
