The best thing you can say about your plastic summer thongs is that they "go with anything." It's time to face reality - your flips are definitely flops.

Say hello to chic summer styles from Soludos. Designed by uber-hottie Nick Brown, the espadrilles are an ode to his youthful days in Spain and a stylish kick perfect for your endless summer mentality. With a brand name that combines salud (cheers) and sol (sun), the eco-friendly jute sole is made from grass, topped with natural cotton patterns based on designs originally sold on beaches in the Mediterranean.

At last, colorful kicks worthy of a fling.
