Let’s face it: flip flops are a summer must-have. But instead of defaulting to a cheapie pair that will fall apart or fade the first time you wear them, think about investing in a really good pair and wearing them all summer — or forever.

My pick for perfect summer flip flops is always Havaianas, and this summer, they’re cuter than ever.

Havaianas has teamed up with Missoni (designers of the world’s best retro-pattern knit dresses) for a line of fun and funky flip flops
that will make your toes happy all summer long. Made of the same
high-quality rubber that made Havaianas Brazil’s favorite shoe, the Missoni Havaianas
line comes in four styles, all with prints that are part of the sole so
they don’t wear off. The colors are bright and fun and the prints are
super cool. I’m a little in love with the Missoni Slim. So pretty!

flip flops aren’t cheap — this line starts at $60 — but you won’t need a new pair next year. Good thing because you’ll never want to take them of. –Susan

Missoni Havaianas are available at the Haivaiana website and in select  Bloomingdales and Nordstrom stores
