Dolce & Gabbana slides, $995
Crafting a sandal that manages to be both highly casual and indulgently opulent is no mean feat. For their
Tropico Italiano collection, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana blended la dolce vita values with a millennial ease
and irreverence—think terry-cloth hotel slippers with gilt-thread embroidery. The pale-pink rubber sole is offset
by a jacquard strap festooned with a wreath of plastic roses on a bed of raffia with periwinkle-and-champagne crystals.
Somewhere along the way, the whole enterprise hits that delicate sweet spot between kitsch and chic—
kind of like summer itself, now that we think about it.
