Footwear
A slingback is a shoe with a closed or pointed toe and a thin strap that wraps around the back of the heel, leaving the heel itself open. Halfway between a pump and a mule, the strap keeps the shoe secure while the open back makes it feel lighter and more elegant — popular on flats, kitten heels, and pumps.
The defining feature is that heel strap, often adjustable, which combines the polish of a closed-toe shoe with the airiness of an open back. Two-tone slingbacks are an enduring classic.
Slingbacks share the open-heel ease of mules but add security, and pair beautifully with tailored trousers, midi skirts, and dresses.
