The Style Update: Evening Slippers

Come summer, hemlines get shorter, nights get longer, and your shoes should have a go-with-everything quality but still be dressy enough to wear for fancier situations. We’ve rounded up our favorite fancy flats, everything from embroidered and backless to metallic cut-outs to pearl-studded to satin slides—all of which are polished enough to stand on their own. We even threw in a particularly irresistible pair of jeweled satin mules from No. 21, because they were, well, too good not to. (Many of these would be pretty clutch for a summer wedding, too.) Pair with a breezy, feminine silk dress for a look that’s seriously chic, and most importantly, comfortable.
