HOW TO STYLE SLINGBACK HEELS
By Georgia Trevitt, 17 May 2024
If you’re scrolling for your new favourite pair of shoes, it's time to talk slingback heels. The timeless classic is having a major moment this season – and we're very into it. Slingbacks instantly elevate every outfit and they pair perfectly with virtually every summer-ready item you already own. Keep scrolling for the proof and how we're wearing them in summer '24.
SLINGBACK STILETTO HEELS
ASOS DESIGN Salty slingback stiletto mid shoes in black, £28
We’re starting off strong, ideal for those fancy occasions you have coming up. Got a date night in the calendar? Pair with an LBD and leather jacket for an all-black look. If you're heading to a wedding, opt for a satin midi dress and a matching bag. If it's a night out with the girls, slingback heels look great with baggy jeans and a blazer. The options are endless!
SLINGBACK BLOCK HEELS
ASOS DESIGN Symphony bow slingback mid block heeled shoes in natural fabrication, £32
Block heels are perfect for elevating your look and staying comfy – what could be better? The pair above by ASOS DESIGN are the ideal addition to your sunny-season wardrobe. Textured and neutral fabrics are massive for summer '24, and this pair has both (plus a cute bow detail) – the dream pair for a ‘jeans and a nice top’ look.
SLINGBACK KITTEN HEELS
ASOS DESIGN Strut slingback kitten heeled shoes in red, £28
Another one for comfort-lovers: the kitten heel. These slingbacks nail the 90s city-girl look – and that deep red instantly draws the eye. For a simple but stylish vibe, wear them with a black T-shirt and some leather trousers, or when temperatures are warmer, opt for shorts and pair them with an oversized shirt. This style is also available in silver and white, so, the hardest part might be choosing just one colour to add to bag.
SLINGBACK MULES
Truffle Collection sling back pointed mules in beige, £16.50
Mules are a trusty spring/summer staple, so why not add a slingback pair to your rotation this season? These beige beauts by Truffle Collection bring a chic elegance to any outfit. Go all-out and wear with your favourite dress and a stand-out bag.

SLINGBACK FLATS
ASOS DESIGN Wide Fit Lala slingback ballet flats in white lizard, £10
Finally, if flats are more your vibe (we know heels aren't for everyone), these ballet-style slingbacks are your new go-to's. Ballet pumps are still dominating the season and styles like the pair above are the traditional pump's summer-ready sibling. We’re pairing ours with mini dresses, skirts and all the cute tops we can find.
