Don’t make the rookie mistake of forgetting pool slides on your next vacay. The worst feeling is shimmying into your fashionable swimsuit , grabbing your tote bag filled with beach essentials, and running to the door — only to realize you didn’t bring pool shoes. *Groan* No one wants to slide their wet feet into their sneakers — no matter how cute they are — after getting out of the water. Comfy and cushy slides are ideal for waddling between the hotel, beach, or car. They’re also bonafide trendy and will pair with your favorite summer shorts and dresses for a verified street fashion moment long after you’ve left the pool behind.
Pool slides are a simple, comfy, and chic summer option and we’ve hunted down the best of the best. We’ve rounded up the best stylish slides, including quilted, color-block, and embroidered options, as well as laid-back strappy shoes with cork soles. Are you interested in a floral print for Hawaii or your next tropical trip? We’ve got one from Nike . Or maybe you wanted a vibrant pair from your favorite brands like Free People , Anthropologie , and Lululemon ? There are tons of styles from the latest trendy brands to peruse ahead. Click through for a selection of our favorite styles worth sliding your feet into.
