Millennials, rejoice: Your beloved jellies have returned to rescue you from the shore's tired, ubiquitous flip flop. These recyclable rubber ballet flats ($80) by the Brazilian brand Melissa are among the best-selling shoes at Knit Wit's Margate, New Jersey store location. Not only are they waterproof, the shoes are "beautiful, light, and rubber," says Knit Wit store owner Ann Gitter. "They're great at the beach, and you can wear them on the sand." Did we mention they're sparkly? Your inner six-year-old self is freaking out right now.
