Seen on the shelves of names like Valentino Garavani, Alexander McQueen and Gabriela Hearst, these slides offer an easy, relaxed look and feel. From braided straps, and rubber bodies to cutouts and spikes, here are our picks... 

Tan on ten
Fabrizio Viti crafts the Davis Berkeley slides, which have a tan suede upper and matching leather footbed. The minimal design is punctuated with a leather daisy on the side of the lower strap — a fun touch that is apt for the season. Rs.34,980 approximately

Mallorca magic
The Mallorca slides from Balenciaga are a must have for that beach vacation you’ve been planning or even for a day of lounging by the pool. The yellow pair boasts a moulded insole and the straps have buckles that are debossed with the brand’s logo. Rs.28,360 approximately

Over the moon
What we love about this Vanilla Moon pair is that it has a lightweight sole and a minimal aesthetic which is balanced by the braided straps. The golden leather is offset by jute trimming. Rs.7,990
 

A sip of burgundy
The silhouette is updated with braided straps and a burgundy footbed through this pair by Valentino Garavani. The straps sit on a leather sole, which is finished with the house’s signature rockstuds. Rs.51,880 approximately
