Brand fashionable shales
Today, slates are perhaps an attribute found in the wardrobe of every modern person. Indispensable on a beach holiday, practical on a hot summer day in the suburbs, and at the same time combining all the latest fashion trends - these are the shoes that we call the simple word "flip flops".
Now it is difficult to say with certainty what kind of people we owe to the appearance of slates, but there is no doubt that this type of footwear has appeared very, very long time ago. Interestingly, the materials from which our ancestors made their first slippers, which later conquered the entire planet (for example, bamboo), can now be actively seen on the catwalks of world-famous brands. So what are the universal and beloved by all shale?
Shales are made, as a rule, from light, but wear-resistant materials. Most often it is rubber, leather or leather, textiles.
Rare and unusual designer models can consist of wood, plastic, lace, and even fur. Decorated with shale, too, can be very diverse - artificial flowers, stones, Swarovski crystals or real seashells!
Types and features of shale
Traditional slates are always made without the back. Most often there are three types of models:
- Flip-flops or as they are called "finger". These are slippers, the top of which in the form of the letter V passes between the thumb and forefinger of the foot. Most often, they are firmly associated with the beach wardrobe, but, nevertheless, in recent years have become a source of inspiration for fashionable street bows.
- Pantoletes - a type of slates with a ribbon that runs from one side of the sneaker to the other through the lifting of the foot.
- The sabo is an exclusively female variety of flip-flops. The basis of this model used pantoletes, but the fundamental difference from them is the wedge on this style of shoes.

What brands should you pay attention to if you want to create a stylish and current look with this shoe?
It is impossible not to distinguish luxury brands Chanel. Made in a recognizable and elegant style of the famous label, such slippers will certainly become the pearl of your beach collection.
More affordable, but certainly current and fashionable models can be found in middle-class brands such as TommyHilfiger and Lacoste. Always simple and concise, they will be pleased with a wide choice of both female and male models.
Lovers of all trendy and original, you definitely need to pay attention to the "fluffy" collection of sneakers FentyPUMAbyRihanna. As you might guess from the name, the designer of these pantolet was made by Rihanna herself. Decorated with faux fur, these models are in three colors: delicate white, classic black and summer and feminine pale pink.

Slippers of these brands are affordable, consistently made of quality materials and, of course, always easily recognizable among the cheaper analogues of summer shoes.
Bright and beautiful options for girls offer Brazilian brand Ipanema and Italian company Cerutti. Interesting styles of Vietnamese and pantolet, as well as a large selection of clogs will pleasantly delight lovely ladies.
Convenient slate of all colors of the rainbow can be purchased from the Russian manufacturer Vitacci. Designers of this brand annually do internships in Europe, after which they create shoes in Russia according to the latest fashion trends and using high-quality materials.
British brand Keddo also pleased with the variety of styles and value for money.Separately, I would like to note their slates, made entirely of rubber: they are easy to care for, and after washing you do not need to dry, which, of course, will save you great time on vacation.
But what about the flip flops for the little ones? Here everything is provided by an American company. Crocs.

Even if the child wants to slap them in puddles, Crocs can be easily washed with ordinary soap and water. Their most recognizable and functional model is exactly what they called “crocs”.
What and how to wear?
Slates easily and easily combined with almost any clothing. The exception, perhaps, will make only festive, too solemn images.
Flip-flops will be in perfect harmony with a short summer dress, pantolets are well suited for shorts and pants.
It will be interesting to look at the combination of the simplest things in the form of a monophonic dress of simple cut or a white T-shirt with denim shorts with an unusual, bright model of slippers. Focus on shoes - the more interesting the model, the better. Choose woven slates, with fringe or seashells.
Flip-flops, of course, comfortable shoes, but there are times when it is more reasonable to leave them at home. At sea, they are irreplaceable, but if you decide to make a long walk around the city or learn rock climbing, your legs will certainly get tired of shale by evening. Also, unfortunately, slates can hardly serve you for several seasons. Sea water and urban dust over time, alas, hopelessly spoil the look of your shoes. That is why for a beach holiday it is better to choose washable rubber models, and for urban walks, purchase at least two pairs, or alternate them with other shoes.
