Sling it on: 10 of our favourite slingback shoes

Reading Time: 3 Minutes

Yet another 'retro' trend has re-emerged, but with a sleek and modern spin.

Slingback heels rose to fame in the 20's as they became synonymous with Hollywood glamour through the likes of Audrey Hepburn and her classic style. Originally designed as a practical yet stylish solution for women with the strap providing comfort and a secure fit, the style has well and truly stood the test of time.

The slingback style has once again crept onto our radar in a variety of modern styles. From a glossy patent pump, to bright pops of colour or a pearl detail style ballet flat, we've rounded up some of our favourite versions of this trend all available in Newmarket.

With their mesh front and dainty bow, these sweet slingbacks are top of our list.

A modern neutral, the deep chocolate colour and square toe is a great trans-seasonal option that pairs well with light denim or more formal pieces.

We love the pearl detail on this ballet flat style slingback from Stuart Weitzman. The subtle touch transforms this classic shoe to something a little bit dressier.
