Flip Flops with Grapes and Fruit

Surprise Yourself

The idea of sporting a pair of flip flops adorned with big bunches of grapes or some other type of fruit may not seem that appealing at first. In fact, it may seem downright tacky to some! However, don't dismiss this playful shoe style so fast. They have some merit, especially during the summertime (when the living is easy, remember?). Now is the time to take a little risk with your footwear!

Once you've convinced yourself to give it a shot, prepare to be amazed at the legitimately enormous selection of flip flops with grapes and fruit. There's something to cater to every taste (no pun intended). Maybe you prefer red grapes to green. Perhaps you're more of a watermelon fan. There are even styles for the kids!

Shopping for Flip Flops with Grapes and Fruit

You may already have spotted these types of shoes while on vacation. Boardwalk souvenir shops in particular are rife with novelty shoes and other accessories, and even drugstores may carry them. If you have no luck finding them in stores, you'll find plenty online.

• Fun and sparkly, these Susan Mango Watermelon flip flops feature a sequined watermelon in a vibrant pink and green color scheme. Don't let the bold embellishment scare you away, though – the flip flop itself is a basic black style, and even the watermelon is rather understated.

• Detailed is certainly one way to describe these vibrant flip flops from HotFlops! Available in six varieties, there's a grape-adorned flip flop here for you. For a dramatic take on a playful look, try the pink flip flops with black grapes. If you're planning a beach party, opt for the blue flip flops with green grapes. The grapes are remarkably authentic looking, and each shoe also features extra embellishments, like bumblebees and flowers, amidst the grapes.

• Kate Mack's charming lemon-lime-orange flip flops are a total citrus-fest for little girls! The colorful artwork contrasts perfectly with the green sole, and the orange and green dual straps meet at a large central sequined orange. Kids will adore these sweet shoes.

• If you're a fashion maven who can't stomach the thought of wearing authentic looking fruit on your feet, opt instead for these chic strawberry trim raffia flip flops from ASOS. Not only are they insanely inexpensive, they also ease flawlessly into a more mature wardrobe. The beaded strawberry detail is discreet, but it's the perfect foil for the more rustic raffia material. Despite the youthful design, these shoes are destined to make a place for themselves in a stylish gal's wardrobe.

• Grapes and nothin' but the grapes: That's what you'll get with these sandals from After 5. Your choice of black or white flip flops are adorned with fresh, almost edible-looking grapes in your choice of green or red.

What to Wear Them With

You can't possibly be expected to wear these crazy shoes with anything but shorts and tanks at the beach, right? Wrong! Fruit-adorned flip flops (and embellished flip flops of any kind) are the perfect complement to a relaxed summer outfit. Try grape sandals with a lightweight cotton or linen skirt, a softly draped tank top and a slim metallic belt to bring it all together. The bold shoes will fit in unexpectedly well.

Of course, you can't go wrong with shorts and t-shirts or tank tops, either. Pair your favorite fruity flip flops with capris and a fitted top or shorts and a tank. They make a great alternative to basic flip flops and athletic shoes, and they instantly add a sassy twist to your ensemble.
