Every year while shoe trends ebb and flow, there’s always one style that proves to stand the test of time: the humble slip-on sandal. Regarded as a go-to style when the weather begins to warm – mainly thanks to its easy and comfortable versatility that will have you effortlessly gliding from the beach to bar – the simple staple neither ebbs nor flows come summer.
It’s stylish, pairs beautifully with linen ensembles, flowing pants and bikini’s, while also available in colourways and fabrics to suit all sartorial tastebuds. Basically, it’s the most sensible purchase you’ll make all year.
