Summer shoes are the prettiest shoes, and I will always stand by this statement. I realize that declaring one shoe the prettiest It shoe of summer 2026 may sound a bit hyperbolic, but I also stand by this statement. And believe it or not, they’re technically jellies. That said, they’re far from the jellies of yore. These jellies are modern, elegant, and utterly grown-up. They come courtesy of Chloé, and they were just spotted on Tessa Thompson in NYC.

After last summer’s viral jelly thong slingback sandals, Chloé has pretty much solidified itself as the go-to designer brand for elevated jellies, and if you ask me, its new ruched peep-toe mules are even more elevated and wearable than last year’s flip-flop iteration. These are incredibly flattering on the foot and are far more timeless than their predecessor. They also come in an array of cool colors for the season. Thompson opted for the ash grey iteration, which was the perfect complement to her white tank and lace-trimmed blue slip skirt.
