Fashionable sandals 2021 and slippers pay tribute to comfort, but not only. After a year spent at home and in home office, everyone seems to be longing for a grand outing in an elegant and stylish outfit - and that's where Saint Laurent platform and column-heel sandals come in handy. These are models with thin straps and stilettos, extremely popular at the turn of the 90s and 2000s, perfect to complete minimalist outfits or on the contrary: for poppy Spice Girls-like sets from those years.
Check out fashionable slippers 2021 and summer sandals in which no distance on a promenade will be a problem.
This year, whether for shorter or longer trips, we pack oriental, traditional tabi-inspired sandals. Once seen mostly by the pool, slippers have once again found their way onto runways and streets. Fashionable 2021 slippers of this type are made of leather and usually have a flat sole or medium heel - a classic stiletto or an original cut-out, curved, architecture-inspired "block".
Japanese sandals also have decorative stones or a thicker, comfortably profiled sole, often seen in "comfort" and orthopedic type models.
Fashionable slippers 2021 are not only Japanese sandals. The runway has seen, for example, Gucci slippers on a chunky block, platform and wedge models by Bottega Veneta and column heel slippers, in which you can confidently walk, for example, to the beach. They stand out with their vibrant, optimistic colors, such as super fashionable, intense green or lavender violet. Azure blue Gucci slippers will perfectly match, for example, with chocolate brown (one of the colors that will be fashionable already this fall).
For people who prefer toned, more discreet shoes, the trends will also be very friendly. People with sensitive feet will also be very pleased. Fashionable 2021 slippers in minimalist style and basic colors will match, for example, white trapeze dresses, feminine suits and loose, linen sets or denim shirts.

In recent years, Birkenstocks have undergone a real fashion metamorphosis. The footwear remains comfortable and practical, but at the same time these iconic buckle slippers have become an inexhaustible source of inspiration for many designers, including, among others, Rick Owens. The slippers have gained a modern, extraordinary design that fits even the most fashionable outfits. They are made, for example, of gold or silver leather and acquire original details. Birkenstock slippers are heavily inspired by, for example, Balenciaga.
Birkenstocks also inspire Chloe. The brand's smart casual slippers have been adorned with a decorative buckle and have a light, rubber sole, reminiscent of a piece of wood with visible layers. Other fashionable slippers this season will be models on low and medium platforms, with a front reminiscent of a slightly "inflated" cloud (currently fashionable are also this type of "pillow" bags).
Such a platform, in addition to being fashionable, is also very practical: it increases comfort during walks, isolating feet, for example, from hot sand or gravel.
This summer we go on a sentimental journey to the 90s. If your childhood falls in those years, you certainly remember the clatter of heavy wooden clogs on a thick cut sole. This type of footwear was worn at that time by both teenagers and adult women. In 2021 we return to this model. Wear clogs with a built-up front to flared jeans, pants with loose legs, floral shirts and tops with English embroidery. Take a super fashionable basket to your hand.
Gucci slippers with fur are definitely a more extravagant proposition. They resemble home slippers (and are just as comfortable), but this season we can also wear them "outdoors", to T-shirts and pants with loose legs, a mini skirt or shorts.
A more elegant, but equally fluffy model will be Saint Laurent high-heeled slippers (sandals), which will perfectly break the seriousness of a smart casual suit worn after hours. UGG suggests the fur in the most casual version, for example, to sweatpants and a sweatshirt.
This summer you will be wearing not only slippers, although there are plenty of them on the runways. What will be on top when it comes to sandals? Summer 2021 is rich in models on chunky heels, with spaghetti straps (as from the turn of the 90s and 2000s) as well as flat or on a small platform. Everyone will find something for themselves.
Saint Laurent sandals in dark red have a fashionable detail: a laced front. There will be significantly more such lacing and laced leather on shoes this summer. A less stable, but equally stylish model will be Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen sandals.
Designers also reach for oriental inspirations from the Middle East. In fashion will be shoes inspired by Moroccan slippers: slippers with a built-up front and almond toe on a flat sole.
After delving into current trends, one might get the (correct) impression that this season designers are limited mainly by imagination, and we, fashion fans, by courage and willingness to experiment with fashion. Regardless of your style and preferences, you will surely find something for yourself among the 30 pairs of footwear presented by us. Give your feet comfort and a bit of luxury!
