There"s much debate over what defines a "flip flop" sandal. To me, a flip flop has always been a flat, casual sandal (thong, slide, etc.) that is free at the back, so that when one walks, they get a sort of "flip-flop" sound.

Whether you call them flip flops, thongs or beach shoes; these top picks in women"s flip-flops and casual thongs range from sporty to classy - and will keep you comfortable and stylish all spring and summer.

1.Reef "Seaside" Popular Flip-Flop Two Packs Incredibly popular and reasonably-priced, these Reef sandals come in a wide variety of fun prints and colors. But the best part is, they"re sold in two-packs, and each set has two styles, so you get twice the bang for your buck.
  2. Donald J. Pliner Flip Flops - Heeled, Embellished "Cosette"
  Much fancier than most of the flip-flops you"ll see, these thong sandals from Donald J. Pliner still offer loads of summery casual attitude, but they do it with an impeccable sense of style. With 1.25" heels and artsy hardware embellishments, if you love these flip-flops like I do, you"ll want to pair these artsy sandals with gypsy skirts, mini skirts, shorts, jeans, and cropped pants. I love them in red.
3. Skechers Cali "Heatwaves-Why Keykey" - Frayed Flip Flops
  Casual, but still dynamic, these canvas flip-flops have cool frayed edges, and thick sporty soles. With floral embroidery on the straps, these sandals are really unique, and come in several colors -- the white version is my particular favorite.
4. Colorful Flip Flops - Kenneth Cole Reaction "Glam Chops" Kenneth Cole"s "Glam Chops" flip-flops have a unique, casual look, and come in great colors like kiwi, raspberry, orange, black and white. With perforated uppers and a cute side buckle, these thong sandals will add fun to your wardrobe and take you anywhere that"s casual.

Ankle Strap Sandals - Nine West "Snooks" Whether you prefer dress or casual styles, ankle strap sandals are super-sexy and look great with mid-length and shorter skirts and dresses.

Chunky Heel Sandals - Due Farina "Wet"
Fun & trendy, sandals with chunky heels can be as sexy as stilettos, and they"re easier to walk in.

Peep Toe Sandals - L.A.M.B. "Faran"
Both freeing and sexy, open- and peep-toe sandals can flatter nearly any feet.

White Sandals - Report "Lucie 2"
Nothing"s hotter than a pair of sexy white sandals. Especially dynamic against dark skin, they"re a good choice for lighter complexions as well.

Espadrille Sandals - Michael Kors KORS "Summer Wedge"
While traditional espadrilles are attractive in their own right, adding heels, platforms and lots of straps add a whole new level of sex appeal.

Sling-Back Sandals - Nine West "Kellers"
Whether they"re skimpy and graceful or powerfully trendy, it"s hard to find sling-back sandals that aren"t sexy.

For a hot look without a lot of pain, try low heeled sandals with dynamic features. Metallic shades and intricate detailing add to the sex appeal.

Simple or ornate, there"s a t-strap sandal for every occasion -- and something about a strap running up the foot is just flat-out sexy.

Platform Sandals - Jessica Simpson "Genaviv"
Platform sandals are still as hot as ever, and the look is pure sex appeal. Ideal with skirts or dresses, sandals like these demand attention.

Patent and bright colors are among the biggest trends in shoes for Spring and Summer of 2009. Patent Leather Shoes - Via Spiga "Jade"
Patent shoes have been hot for the last couple of years, but mixed with the eye-popping brights and retro styles of this season, patent leather footwear is hotter than ever.
Color-Blocked Shoes - Naughty Monkey "Colorful Talk"
Not as busy as prints, but more fun than a pair of solid colored shoes, color-blocked shoes are hot this season. The bright pink on these pumps from Naughty Monkey would add a jolt of personality to any dark suit you paired them with.
  Shoes in Bright Colors - Nine West "Fronttime"
It"s always refreshing when shoes in bright colors are so readily available. And while they"re obviously not as versatile as our black, white, or neutral shoes, they"re certainly a welcome change. Slingback Shoes - Kenneth Cole Reaction "Chip N Dip"
Slingback shoes are always popular in my own closet, and this year, they"re one of the easiest styles to find in on the shoe store shelves as well. Wedge Shoes - Nine West "Standbye"
Wedge shoes sure didn"t disappear for long. They were all the rage about three years ago, and now they"re back. Shoes with Cut-Out Uppers - Jessica Simpson "Hask"

Platform shoes are still hot this year, and especially styles where the platforms are hidden or partially hidden, like they are on the sexy pumps shown here. Print Shoes - Guess "Carrie"
There"s two big print trends going on this season: florals, and geometric prints like circles, squares and other retro type patterns. Print shoes are an easy way to add interest to your look. If you"re uncertain how to combine patterns successfully, just be sure to keep the rest of your outfit fairly simple.
