Type in #slides into Instagram and about 70% of the images that show up will be Rihanna’s latest Fenty x Puma pair. The blush pink and khaki slides have truly got my heart, but you’ve got to admit, they’re just a bit fancier looking than the slippers you wear at home.
Adidas and Nike have been making basic slides for years, but they only gained that cult popularity recently. All of a sudden, people are wearing them out shopping, to work, and even formally.
Yes, they’re a bit hard to wear out at night. But where there’s a will, there’s a way! I don’t think those plain black slides will ever work out with your formal wear. But if you do own a pair with some embellishments, or even Rihanna’s new satin bow babies, you can totally work with those.
Here are three outfits to try them with.
