I'll admit it—the trend cycle moves fast. But I’ll stand by this: not every trend that comes “in” is destined to be dragged “out” again. Case in point? The enduring jeans-and-sandals pairing Jennifer Aniston has been wearing since 2004.
Transcending fleeting fashion moments, Aniston has long understood the lasting appeal of a flip-flop-and-jeans combo. Styling the effortless look just this week, she stepped out in baggy mid-wash jeans, a sleeveless checked top, an elegant tan hat and, of course, a relaxed pair of flip-flops.

This certainly isn’t the first time we’ve seen her lean into the throw-on formula. In fact, the moment I spotted the new image this morning, I couldn’t help but recall a strikingly similar look from November 2004. Same relaxed blue jeans, same easy thong sandals—proof that some outfits really do stand the test of time.

The enduring appeal of this classic combination lies in its simplicity: denim—a wardrobe hero that, although styles and cuts may ebb and flow in popularity, will never leave our repertoire—meets the effortless appeal of a slip-on flip-flop. The gold-star standard in easy-going, chic styling, this tried-and-true combination will continue to deliver year after year.
