Slingback comeback — the most chic of shoe styles is staging a return this autumn, and these are our editors’ picks

When it comes to putting together an elegant ensemble, few shoe styles are as classic and chic as the slingback. Staking its claim as the ultimate shoe for autumn, the slingback is a refined wardrobe addition that can easily transition from day to night, with a full spectrum of styles — from everyday staples to statement-makers.

Here, we set out the slingbacks our editors are coveting this season. From elegant black in an array of fabrics, to bold colourways and stand-put prints, this careful curation will have you participating in the trend like a pro — and investing in a trend with true staying power.
