The Accessory Update: Pool Slides
As the moniker would suggest, pool slides were originally created for pottering beside their namesake. But how their star has risen! Loved for their infinite versatility and wearability – softening relaxed suiting, complementing love-worn jeans and adding a modern edge to chic sundresses – they’re the backbone of your wanderlust closet and will find a forever place in your at-home footwear lineup, too. Bottega Veneta has souped up the minimal shape this season by adding embossed intrecciato – the brand’s hallmark weave design – while Gucci has gone large on logomania. Or see Balenciaga for sleek, minimal versions of the cult footwear with a flattering stacked sole. With vacation season upon us, one thing’s for sure: whether you’re jetting off for a beach break or a city weekend, no suitcase is complete without a pair.
