Summer's close, but we're not there yet. While we wait for the clouds to disperse, we can’t stop thinking about the next time we’ll be poolside. Unfortunately, while the pool may be a sanctuary for many, it’s not famed for its style.

Excluding the 1960s, this arena has mostly been uninspired and downright ugly sartorially speaking. Luckily, though, spring/summer 2022 brings with it a whole host of poolside footwear options in the form of luxury slides, allowing your shallow-end style to be better than ever.

Slides have long been the footwear of choice when treading the slippy perimeter of a swimming pool. This is down to their comfort, ease, and durability. Picking a pair of slides that actually looked good, however, has not been such an easy job. But with selections from Needles, Prada, Raf Simons, and more, you’re sure to be stepping stylishly and securely on your next trip to the swimmer.

Browse our favorite luxury slides below.

Suicoke

Buy at Slam Jam

Suicoke's canvas, velcro-fastened uppers are a departure from the usual rubber builds that we see on slides, but that can be a refreshing change. It also means that they're easier to style when you're out and about, too, not just by the pool.

Industrial Slides

$275

Off-White™
