Would You Wear It: Jelly Sandals

By on June 23, 2014

Let’s take a trip down memory lane and talk about a little trend called jelly sandals. Any 90’s it girl will remember this huge fashion trend and, like me, is ecstatic about their return. Classic brands like Jelly Beans and JuJu Jellies are making a return and re-launching this well-loved fad.

However, designers such as Yves Saint Laurent and Givenchy have gotten in on the trend adding their own couture twist.

I’m not too sure about the YSL jelly heels but I personally love the classic jelly sandals made by Juju and Jelly Beans. I’m a sucker for anything nostalgic even if it means wearing PVC plastic on my feet. I think they’re a fun way to put a 90’s spin on any outfit. And the best part about these sandals are the endless possibilities and colour choices. Not to mention the glitter-infused ones.

So while some may argue this trend is ‘kiddish’ and should stay back in the 90’s where we left it, I think trends are always meant to come back, even for just a little while. I think First Lady, Michelle Obama would agree as she’s seen here rocking a pair of jelly flats.
