It's hard to make jelly flats look chic, but Kelly Brook just proved it's possible with her pretty boho dress
This is a fresh way to style this year's most nostalgic shoe trend
If there’s one fashion trend that has the power to divide opinion, it’s jelly shoes. Once associated with childhood holidays and beach days, the nostalgic shoe has made a return to our wardrobes this summer – and Kelly Brook has just made a very convincing case for wearing them again.
She was spotted wearing a beautifully bohemian look that feels made for late-summer dressing. Her brown and cream botanical-print dress from Ba&sh features romantic puff sleeves and a floaty silhouette, and the print has a vintage-inspired feel that's so chic!
But it was her choice of footwear that really caught my attention. Kelly paired the dress with brown caged jelly flats, proving that the divisive trend can look surprisingly good when styled right. Jelly shoes have been creeping back into fashion for a while now, and this season’s versions feel less like a novelty and more polished, particularly when worn with the best summer dresses.

Then balance them out with something more feminine, such as a printed midi-dress, a floaty skirt or even jeans and a blouse.
