No warm weather wardrobe is complete without a classic pair of sandals. I’m all for strappy situations, platform designs, and casual slides, but nothing compares to the simplicity of flip-flops. Thanks to their slip-on nature and low profile silhouette, flip-flops are arguably the most easy-to-wear shoe you can have in your closet. They’re comfortable, classic, and they can be paired with practically anything from breezy dresses to beach-ready bikinis. So, as temperatures continue to rise, I’m in search of the best flip-flops to welcome summer in style. The latest addition to my shopping cart? The Amazon Essentials Thong Sandals — and they’re just $14.

As its name suggests, the Amazon Essentials brand has every staple piece you could need in your summer outfit rotation. It's constantly updated with new, budget-friendly basics (like these classic sandals) that are bound to become mainstays in your wardrobe. According to one Amazon shopper, the shoes are the "perfect, basic flip-flops." They feature a foam-padded insole for extra comfort, and a thin, timeless thong strap. The shoes are available in nine colorways including neutral tones, metallics, bold brights, and even animal prints.
