I used to consider slingback shoes as the granny shoes, but as I'm growing up, I'm loving them more and more. You want to style the slingback properly to feel chic and not fall into the granny trap. However, if you pay attention, they give an effortless elegant twist that makes the entire outfit. So, in today's post, we'll see how to style them and five outfit ideas you can easily replicate with your pieces.

Dior, Gucci, and Chanel make us dream about the old-money classic slingbacks because they made the most famous and timeless pair of shoes. When you think of slingback shoes, the first pair that comes to mind is from Chanel. And even if they are stunning, you don't need to buy them to wear a great outfit with a pair of slingbacks. You can take inspiration from these classic pieces and make your version. That's why I love fashion. There are legends, but you can make your style with every budget taking inspiration from them.

Slingback shoes are, for example, a great contrast piece to style with a casual look. You're wearing a pair of your favorite straight-leg denim with an oversized shirt or knitwear. You add the slingback and a slim bag to create an exciting outfit. Or, you can style your slingback with a casual and bold jumpsuit to create a feminine contrast. Oh, I love these strong contrasts because you're showing different personalities.

If you're more into timeless style, the best way to wear slingback is with a mini dress or skirt. In this case, you want to pay attention to the volume proportions. With a tight mini skirt and a pair of slingbacks, pick a voluminous top or an oversized shirt to create movement in your outfit. Since the mini dress and the slingbacks are slim and clean, try to play around with bold or fun accessories like jewels and bags to reduce the gravity of the look.

Another way to style slingbacks that I love is with suits. And if the slingbacks are with a pop of shine, it's even better. Imagine wearing your favorite suit with a bra top underneath your blazer. Add the slingback with a pop of sparkle, and you'll feel the queen.

As you can see, the options are limitless. Of course, you don't need the most neutral or classic slingback to feel chic. You can play around with animal prints, colors, and patterns. Just be sure to balance these details with the overall look. For example, if you're wearing a plain outfit, add a slingback with an animal print to give a sexy twist.

The shape of the heel is another detail to incorporate because you can find the bold one, which is also the most comfortable, or the slim heel, which is more polished but also a little unstable. Find a slingback with a relaxed fit that makes you feel confident.
