Airy and relaxed on the beach

Women's beach sliders are making a comeback this season. Plastic shoes were dismissed with a smile for a long time; beach footwear was almost exclusively limited to espadrilles, ballerinas and mules. Now, the time has come for beach shoes to step back into the spotlight. They come in a wide range of options; some have a heel and some don't, giving you the freedom of choice. You can buy open-toed pool shoes or ones that keep the foot covered. There are flip-flops with thin straps and toe posts, and pool shoes with a thick strap or several small straps next to each other. Buckles, laces and other fastenings add the finishing touches.

Anything but boring

Women's beach shoes can hold their own against sandals and other trendy shoes in the summer. You can wear them elsewhere and make a statement. They also come in every colour or pattern that you can imagine: from subtle shades to patterns and vibrant colours, we've got it all. You could keep things calm and understated with a palette of greys and browns, black, white and cream. Sorbet tones will also be making a subtle appearance this summer, either in the foreground or as an accent colour. The collection includes bold patterns featuring animal prints, paisley, stripes and spots. Popular prints include leopard and zebra designs, as well as chunky block stripes and polka dots. When it comes to bright colours, neon shades win through: Radiant sunshine yellow, bright pink and rich purple await you. 

Perfect summer sandals

Flip-flops are a common sight, both at home and on holiday. Sliders' distinctive style screams summer and works with any outfit. Show off your beach shoes with short summer dresses and skirts. They look great with bikinis and swimsuits, and also work well with cropped jeans. Smart flip-flops can even be worn to clubs – entry is guaranteed! Try out different looks and choose a pair of cool kicks.

FAQs

Which beach shoes are sustainable?

Pollution concerns us all and it's now evident that there's plastic in our oceans. While beach shoes are often made from plastic, you can choose to buy a pair made from biodegradable materials. Choose from sustainable materials such as certified organic cotton and natural rubber. Cork is also popular as a material for soles and has a long shelf life. Felt can also used to make the straps. If you must buy plastic, choose recycled plastic, so new plastic won't be used on a new pair of plastic shoes just because of you. It'll help protect the environment.

How do I clean beach shoes?

Beach shoes are often used in muddy places. They can get damaged by sand, seawater and chlorinated water. Sometimes the soles can get dirty and desperately require cleaning. Beach shoes should be cleaned by hand; water and washing-up liquid are key here. If you're dealing with stubborn dirt, try leaving them to soak in soapy water, then scrub them with a soft brush to remove any remaining dirt. If your beach shoes feature a print, do not scrub them too hard or the print may wear off. 

What's the best way to style women's beach shoes?

Since beach shoes aren't just for wearing by the sea, they can be styled in lots of different ways. Create an ethnic look by combining a loose tunic, shoes with toe posts and lots of jewellery. Denim is an everyday staple. Pair high-waisted skinny jeans with a cropped top and flip-flops. Add a blazer for an unusual style twist. Make it edgy with a cute playsuit and cool, beach-friendly mules. In general, you can style anything with women's beach shoes – all you need is the courage to go bold.
