After first coming into style back in the 1960s, slides have re-emerged over the past few years—but are they still on trend in 2024?

The easy-to-wear shoes are a summer staple. Despite appearing like a sporty shoe, don’t be fooled into thinking slides aren’t versatile; they can create a pared back look when teamed with a dress or skirt, can be added to a chic tailored outfit, or simply along with a bikini for the perfect poolside look.

Despite their versatility, we’re seeing slides less and less. At Cheap Luxury Handbags , we encourage you to wear what feels comfortable and makes you feel confident, but for those seeking advice, we’re taking a look at whether slides are still in style this year. Next, stay in the loop for more trends by reading our bag and denim jeans trends for 2024.

Are slides in style in 2024?

Slides may not be the leading footwear trend in 2024, but they’re still here to stay. Leather slides and sandals such as Birkenstocks and Chanel dad sandals are still worn and loved by many, especially during the summer. But right now, they’re updated with platform soles and unique embellishments like chains and statement buckles. We’ve also seen velvet and satin slides gaining traction. Plus, metallics and vibrant colourways are in vogue, too, as seen in the runways from Melke, Wiederhoeft, and Eckhaus Latta.

Meanwhile, fluffy slides and sporty slides appear to be falling off the trend, but they haven’t completely disappeared.

If you’re still keen on the sporty and practical shoe, opt for flip flops or Teva sandals for a similar and modern take on the shoe.

What shoes are in style for 2024?

This season, ballerina flats, strappy sandals like fisherman sandals, and platform mules are taking centre stage.

We’re also seeing fashion favouring practical shoes over uncomfortable and awkward styles, with loafers, sneakers, and minimalist sandals on the rise. Thanks to the increasing popularity of athleisure wear and people prioritizing comfort and style, these shoes are wardrobe staples you shouldn’t miss out on.

Are mules still in style in 2024?

Mules are a wardrobe staple that we believe never goes out of style, but as 90s fashion makes a comeback in recent years, the mule has also surged in popularity. Case in point: platform mules.

As the footwear trend shift towards comfort and style, platform mules are all the rage this year. They’re versatile, comfortable, and available in various styles. We’re seeing them on the Spring/Summer 2024 runway collections of Bottega Veneta, Prada, Dior, Jacquemus, the list goes on. And if that’s not enough, we’re seeing Olivia Culpo and Rihanna rocking this pair, too.

The Attico’s sell-out neon mules have been particularly popular this year after being spotted on celebrities Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber.
