Jelly shoes have long been the kind of footwear relegated to beach trips and poolside escapades. Fashion has a knack for reimagining the unexpected, though. These four pairs, for example, elevate playful transparency and unapologetic practicality into bona fide style statements.
01 - Celine Jelly Bay Sandal, SGD820
Celine kicks things off with the Jelly Bay Sandal, a thong sandal moulded entirely in eco-certified PVC. Its thin straps meet at the brand’s Triomphe emblem and fasten with an adjustable buckle closure. What lifts it beyond novelty is the restraint: no gimmicks, but a clean, glassy silhouette. Saturated colours like Ultra Red and the new-in Ultra Blue look more like poured resin than beachwear. CELINE
02 - Chloé Jelly Mule, SGD890
Chloé pushes further into avant-garde territory with its Jelly Mule. The kitten-heel sandal pairs a smoky, frosted-glass upper with a heel carved to resemble a spiralled shell. Think equal parts mermaid-core and architectural shoe oddity. It’s certainly the most abstract of the four, treating jelly less as beach material and more as a sculptural medium. Seasonal colours like Amber Brown, Blush Pink and Spearmint lead the way. CHLOÉ
03 - Jimmy Choo Jelly Drop 50, SGD825
Another heeled jelly contender arrives in Jimmy Choo’s Jelly Drop 50. The mule is crafted from moulded TPU, with crisscrossing straps sitting atop the label’s signature 50 MM sculpted drop heel. Available in Amber, Light Lagoon blue and shimmer-infused Silver Glitter, it looks weightless while functioning as a proper day-to-evening heel. A translucent finish and textured sole for extra grip round out the design. JIMMY CHOO
04 - Tory Burch Miller Jelly, SGD295
Then there’s Tory Burch, who rebuilt one of its most recognisable silhouettes in glossy jelly for a limited-edition Splash Jelly capsule. The Miller Jelly keeps the signature laser-cut logo medallion intact, while adding flexibility and water resistance. Offered in shades like Blue, Pink, Soft Brown and Crystal Clear, it’s the ultimate on-the-go summer sandal. TORY BURCH
