When I think of nostalgic shoe styles, nothing makes me feel quite as warm and fuzzy, or yearning for the summers of my youth, as a pair of jelly shoes. The '90s sandal is immediately recognisable thanks to its unique gummy texture, but this once kitsch shoe is staging a 2026 comeback, and British clothing brand M&S has just delivered the chicest iteration I've seen.
We saw the jelly shoe on last year’s spring/summer runways, with brands like The Row and Chloe offering up their own takes on the design that were playful yet chic. Surprisingly wearable, new high-street styles in particular make adding a pair to your spring and summer wardrobes a seamless and stylish endeavour.
