Below are some of my favourite clothing pieces to style with slides:

Jeans and denim dresses 

any slide style will do the trick whe you wear slides with jeans. Reach for a rubber pair for ultra-casual looks, or simple leather styles for minimal slide outfits.

Lounge pants 

Joggers and sweats pair great with a sporty rubber style or furry slide, for a laid-back ensemble. Socks are optional.

Basic black leggings go with everything, and include all kinds of slide styles. Pick a pair that's as good on your feet as the leggings are on your legs!. I love adding fun animal print slides to this look.

2020 brought on the sweatsuit trend and these pair best with sports slides. Choose a contrasting colour, or go for a printed slide to play up the relaxed look.

T-Shirt Dress

This is an easy pairing with slides. Opt for a more structured leather pair and a matching purse, so you don't look like you're wearing your jammies!
