Slides, slides, slides! Summer’s most comfortable shoe offering yet comes at us in the form of slides. They’ve been spotted on the runways, with a number of designers upping the casual footwear’s glamor in the style stakes with leather incarnations, heeled options for the evening and embellished details to add a luxe dimension.
Read our style suggestions on how to wear slides. We show you the best ways to keep your slide styling simple with relaxed tailoring or how to elevate your look for a dressed up day time outfit.
The sporty throwback slides
The athletic nature of the slide, that inspired many of the newer iterations of the shoe, is just as popular. Also known as the pool slide, the shoe’s iconic period is rooted in the 90s. But with a strong 90s comeback, we’ve seen the return of the popular styling choice of the original Adidas pool slides with socks make a few reappearances.
The style has also been brought up to date in ultra-modern and eclectic ways especially as fashion weeks. An oversized shirt with a cropped trouser and sporty slides give this look, and its wearer, a sense of being at ease.
The minimalist slides
The naturally laid back aesthetic of slides means they pair so well with casual ensembles. From white cotton day dresses to distressed denim with a t-shirt, this way of dressing slides is the easiest to achieve a carefree look.
Heeled Slides
Heeled slides that have a mule-vibe to them are a summer staple and a great way to make a casual shoe feel instantly striking. Off-shoulder tops and a midi-skirt paired with a heeled slide bring a refined boho flavor.
Add heeled slides to your wardrobe that work well with informal suiting as well as with floaty mid-length dresses to wear your favorite pair all summer long.
