Clean and classic is definitely "in" this season and it comes in all forms -- one being the simple, yet very stylish shoes we love to call slides.
It's impossible not to spot a pair of sophisticated or eccentric slides worn on women just about everyday -- from celebrities on TV to fashion influencers on your favorite social media channel. Whether they're just posing on a regular street or glamming it up on a beach vacation, they take their shoe game very seriously. So if you still haven't invested in your own pair, here are a few style suggestions that we've prepared for you.
The Everyday Slide
Slides are pretty much the perfect everyday footwear for the season. They especially fit the bill for women who prefer to dress effortlessly chic.
If you want something you can wear day in and day out, go for lighter, more subtle hues. They can be quite plain or they can have summery textures that complement your daily ensemble and other summer accessories.

The Studded Slide
Want some more pizzazz to go with your summer outfit? We highly recommend opting for studded slides that give off that chic, rockstar vibe -- and yes, you can wear these during the day as well!
This is a great choice if you're looking to make your footwear the focal point of your outfit. The studs add an element of edgy sophistication, which works well if this fits your personal style.

The Glam Slide
Speaking of added pizzazz, why not go all the way and upgrade your look with eccentric textures and bold colors? Perfect example: wearing faux fur slides as seen on our fave blogger gal, Courtney Kerr, below.
Don't be afraid to push the boundaries of footwear fashion by matching your slides with prints and other bold hues as well. It's summer, so you might as well have fun with what you wear!
