The best slider shoes
Pool slides may have been one of those trends that we initially rolled our eyes at, but fast forward a few months along with countless designer and high street offerings and suddenly we’re sitting up and taking notice.
From stripes to fur and glitter, ever the romantics, we believe there’s a style out there for everyone.
Once the reserve of middle aged, speedo-wearing men sitting by hotel pools, they have now become an easy ticket to a piece of high fashion and the elegant and busy woman’s go-to summer shoe.
Even if you’re still not convinced, just think of them as a free pass to walk around outside in what is effectively a pair of slippers.
Glitter Pool Slides
Iridescent glitter clad feet can never be a bad thing, so consider picking a pair of these shimmery slides up for your next holiday. They also provide a subtle way to dip your toes into the mermaid trend without actually having to commit to a full Disney-style outfit.

Ivy Park Logo Sliders
There’s something about silver on white that just looks really cool. Perhaps it’s the futuristic vibe or the fact that it brings out the best in pretty summer prints, but whatever the reason, we’re definitely on board.

If timeless style has taught us anything, it’s that a little bit of Breton striping goes a long way. Throw in an oversized bow and shimmery soles and you’ve got yourself a pair of stylish slides that wouldn’t look out of place in the office.
