As shoe trends go, this season’s selection is looking more enticing than most. With minimal kitten heels, sleek pointed toe styles and classic mary janes leading the front, us most dedicated fashion devotees are enduring a season full of temptation.
Championing the most classic silhouettes that have served us for so long, 2024’s chicest shoes place versatility, minimalism, and ageless appeal at their core. With these key themes driving today’s trends, it’s no wonder that there are some certain styles rising up above others. Of these new-season pairs, there’s one I can’t shake from my mind and that I keep seeing all over the streets of London and Paris. With a focus on clean lines and enduring appeal—we’re entering into the season of the slingback, and influencers and stylists on board for the ride.
With a sleek silhouette that curves around the ball of the foot before sharpening into a pointed toe or tapering into a neat oval, the elegant shoe contains all of the refined charm of the classic styles that we came to love in the ’90s. Enhancing the appeal of the minimal shoe, the slingback detailing injects a subtly flirty edge, carefully adhering to the back of the heel as both light support and a noteworthy detail. Thirty years on from its initial reign and the trending shoe is all over S/S 2024 runway collections, cropping up in shows including Gucci’s and Saint Laurent’s all over again.
Whilst the slingback shoe is a trend we’re backing through and through, there are a few particular styles that have captured out attention as of late. From kitten heel slingbacks to buckle-embellished styles, read on to discover our edit of the best slingback shoes to shop now.
