Not to be blunt, but I hate flip-flops. I’ve never been a fan of the piece that goes between my toes, and this definitely bummed me out, since I always loved the way they looked — I just didn’t love the way they felt.
As a shopping editor who’s constantly keeping tabs on what celebrities are wearing, I decided to give flip-flops one final try, considering they’ve been at the forefront of fashion this summer. While heeled and platform options have become all the rage, I figured I’d try a style that’s a bit tamer, so I tested the go-to pick in both Jennifer Aniston’s and Katie Holmes’ closets: the Arch Support Flip-Flops from Archies.

Anyone who lives in a city can attest to the large amounts of walking, and since I also have a dog, I’m on my feet even more. I’m always in dire need of an easy slip-on shoe, and for years, I was never reaching for flip-flops — until now. After trying the best-selling Archies pair, my outlook on the thong-style sandal has officially changed.
From first wear, they were comfortable right out of the box, and I immediately took them for a spin around the block to walk my dog without a single blister in sight — and for the piece between my toes? It isn’t the least bit irritating; to say I was shocked and thoroughly impressed would be a huge understatement.
After spotting Jennifer Aniston and Katie Holmes wearing the same style this year, I knew I had to give them a try. The sleek flip-flops are unlike any other flat styles I’ve tried over the years. The 1-inch orthotic arch is minimal, but makes a world of difference in comfort, and, according to the brand, the stretchable strap is designed to prevent the foot from overusing its muscles and tendons while walking. Plus, the foam material molds to your feet for a custom fit — seriously, what more could I ask for in a sandal?
I’m so excited to finally have found a pair that’s on-trend, feels comfortable, and offers the support I need for long days on my feet. I currently own the brown shade, but I’m also eyeing them in more colors to keep in my summer rotation.

Jennifer Aniston and Friends Show Off Stunning Summer Styles
These days, when people say something is basic, they don’t always mean it in a flattering way. But when it comes to wardrobe staples, basic is anything but boring. Just look at the ways Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner, and Joanna Gaines have been wearing them.
All three stars recently wore mix-and-match pieces that are the foundation of any great capsule wardrobe. Aniston paired vintage-wash jeans with a fitted black tank for a sleek, casual look, and Garner dressed up light-wash jeans with a luxe-looking, short-sleeve polo shirt. As for Gaines, she went monochromatic in black jeans and a loose-fitting tank.
If you’re also now inspired to upgrade your own staples, keep scrolling for lookalike Quince clothing pieces starting at $16.
Jennifer Aniston’s Minimalist Masterclass
Aniston’s minimalist tank top and jeans combo is a go-to for her, and we can see why. To recreate her effortless ensemble, we found this Quince tank top with a modest scoop neck, fitted silhouette, and thick straps. It’s made of breathable cotton that’s lightweight enough for summer but can also be layered in the fall and winter. Team it with this pair of jeans, which has a vintage-inspired wash similar to the actress’s. The wide-leg style makes them a comfortable choice whether you’re running errands or heading to lunch.
Jennifer Garner’s Polished Polo
If your style favors classic silhouettes, Jennifer Garner’s sunset look belongs in your closet. Her timeless polo shirt looks nearly identical to this Quince one, which is made of soft, luxe cashmere. It has ribbed, fitted arms, a mid-sized collar, and an adjustable button-front neckline. Shoppers say it’s “lightweight enough for warm weather,” with one noting they “didn’t feel hot at all” wearing it on a 90-degree day. When it comes to her jeans, this lightwash pair is a great option with its subtle heathering at the hips and traditional five-pocket design. The barrel silhouette isn’t overwhelming, and reviewers call them “comfortable in all the right places.”
Joanna Gaines’ Black Basics
Basics are timeless, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also feel modern. Gaines’ monochromatic look proves that. Like this Quince top, her tank has a breezier fit with a subtle curve along the arms, and yes, while it looks good on its own, it’s also great for styling under linen button downs in summer and cardigans come fall. Our personal favorite piece of her look, though, is the sleek, flared jeans. Achieve the same style with Quince’s Luna pair, which mirrors Gaines’ silhouette and has built-in stretch for comfortable, all-day wear and a just-right mid-rise fit.
