It's officially the summer my dear stalkers and it's also time to get out those sandals, but you can leave those flip flops in the cupboard, because this summer it's time to embrace the ugly but rather fabulous pool slides! This is another item like the UGG boot that has the ability to divide the fashion pack into lovers and haters and will conjure up all kinds of remarks such as; “Remind me to give my dad a ring and tell him how on-trend he is.” !!
I shot the gorgeous Pandora Sykes wearing her slides (which she totally rocks) that she bought a while back, trust our PS to be ahead of the trends!!
Garance Dore, my favourite style and blogging queen, has even done their family tree!!
"1988: I was born.
"1988: I was born.
2000: I played soccer, and I couldn’t play
soccer without a pair of these slides.
2001: I quit soccer. But I wore my slides to
summer camp. And everywhere. With everything. Even with socks.
2003: I part ways with my slides (amicably) and
probably because I traded them for bejeweled flip flops.
2006: There is a photo of Mark Zuckerberg in
the New
York Times wearing the velcro version of this slide.
2010: The slide appears throughout the movie, The
Social Network.
June 2013: The slides appear in a resort look book. Chloé does
their take on the slide for resort.
October 2013: Spotted the slides in an editorial for
Interview (on Karlie Kloss, no less). Our Adilettes are everywhere as a more
radical alternative to the already old news Birkenstock.
Today: The Adidas flagship in SoHo only has the
slides available in a men’s size 11. They have been out of stock for weeks,
guys!'
