Hold on—Did J.Law just revive the "outdated" shoe trend that everyone else has replaced with flip-flops?
At first sight, this image of Jennifer Lawrence taking a stroll in New York seemed similar to previous ones—until I took a closer look. Where I would have expected her to wear the season's popular flip-flops, Lawrence instead opted for a more contentious and, dare I say, "outdated" shoe style. Eschewing the usual flip-flops and the rising ballet flats trend, she paired her outfit with black-and-white Adidas slides. Once a summer essential for the fashion set, slide sandals have slowly been replaced by sleeker designs. However, instead of appearing out of touch, Lawrence integrated them into a polished, contemporary outfit, redefining the “outdated” shoe as something remarkably stylish.
In crafting a chic look, a crisp white T-shirt served as the foundation, layered beneath DISSH's Monica Satin Trousers (£145) and a longline jacket, while a suede, studded Gimaguas bag (£240) provided a focal point. By keeping the rest of her ensemble so refined, Lawrence managed to make the "outdated" shoe feel current again. Consider this a prompt to revisit those overlooked sandals and continue reading to find the trendiest slides available for purchase now.
