Ashley Olsen is here to announce to the country (well, to NYC at least) that it’s officially time to switch over to foot-exposing summer shoes. And while you may assume that for an Olsen that means a fisherman sandal or some other sturdy option but no, she’s opting for the polar opposite of those chunky boots that were everywhere this year and wearing flat flip-flops.

While her shoes may look quite beachy at first glance, they’re The Row (of course), so no cheap rubber flip-flops here. Hers are as elegant as flip-flops get, with leather construction, an ankle strap, and square toes. She paired it with oversized suiting, resulting in an outfit of contrast: Fancy beach party on the feet, business on the top. If you’re going to wear flip-flops in NYC, this is how it’s done.
