Item of the week: the fluffy slides

What it is:

The slide is typically an open toe sandal that allows the wearer to simply slide into the shoe, as the name suggests. While the style has been a popular footwear trend for a few seasons now, presenting shoppers with a simple, seasonless design, alternative iterations have been making their way onto the market, most notably complete with a fluffy exterior. Faux fur designs were present on both the runway and increasingly in high-end retail, with each offering up a fresh take on a style that, previously, was often most favoured by sportswear brands. The look also brings a more comfortable and fashion-forward substitute for the flip-flop, still giving the customer an easy, slip-on footwear option for all year round.
