Slide into summer in style.
The humble pool slides showed up on the fashion radar last summer and whilst fashion forward people quickly adopted the trend, others were still trying to get to grips with how slides made their way out of the poolside into the streets. For its second season, pool slides have really grown up. Designers are now offering options one could categorize into high fashion and streetwear. We at PAUSE have taken the liberty to select slides worth investing in for Spring/Summer 2015.
Top Picks:
Raf Simons X Adidas – Raf continues his collaboration with Adidas in stellar fashion with these slides which debuted on the runway. Available here for £145
Mr Hare- British designer Mr Hare adds a more luxurious touch to the humble pool slides with the vamp crafted from buttery soft black leather sporting the labels logo discreetly. Available here for £250
