We’ve brought back crop tops, cords and chokers, so why wouldn’t a staple 90’s shoe be the next item to fulfill our fashion nostalgia. You can thank Mansur Gavriel and Gucci for the comeback \u2014 slides are officially the shoe of summer ’16. The general aesthetic is all too familiar (my mom thought I raided her old closet when she saw mine), but the craftsmanship and minimalist approach to these shoes are unparalleled. Fresh and flat or stacked tall on a heel, you need at least <\/em>one pair in your rotation this season. But after seeing these options for women’s mules, we think it’ll be more like one pair for each day of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
