After the increasingly bizarre styles they brought us last year, here’s a more conventionally pretty shoe from Dolce & Gabbana.

I know slides tend to divide opinion: a lot of people find them difficult to walk in, and it’s true that the absence of any heel-grip can make them live up to their names and slide off, bu I’ve always had a bit of a soft-spot for then. These ones are delicate and feminine looking, and the fact that you don’t see a whole lot of slides around these days makes them just a bit unusual, too.

They’re $495 at Saks.
