Slide sandals are, perhaps, the most elegant way to transform your cold-weather wardrobe into one more fitting of the high temperatures of the season. With all your dresses, ankle-crop jeans, shorts, and more, a pair of sandals will do just the trick to make them summer ready. And they're comfortable enough for that laidback Memorial Day to Labor Day stretch, during which you want to do little more than to walk around outside, brunch with friends, and lay on the beach.
When it comes to sandals, few marry ease with style quite like classic slides. After all, what other sandal style can you slip on without fuss and instantly look more pulled-together than you did moments before? And they work with everything in your wardrobe; you can throw them on with both a silk midi skirt and denim cutoffs alike.
Whether you’re shopping for the interlocking leather straps of Saint Laurent, or on a budget and opting for an equally chic style sold at Mango, a simple slide sandal is a must for Summer 2020.
