These retro slides are chunky and designed to be comfortable and fashionable. To be worn either by the pool or in the streets, these pool sliders are perfect for the summer season. These new chunky pool sandals are monochromatic and simple with the brand name written across the strap. The design is perfect for pairing with either a bathing suit, or with a simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt. McCartney is famous for making clothes that curve perfectly to the body, so it is no surprise that these shoes curve the profile of the foot perfectly. With the idea of quality over quantity, these designer shoes are not inexpensive, but are made to last for years. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Chunky Pool Sandals:** The chunky pool sandals trend offers an opportunity for brands to create comfortable and fashionable footwear for the summer season. - **Retro Aesthetic:** The retro aesthetic trend presents an opportunity for designers to create updated versions of classic styles that appeal to modern consumers. - **Monochromatic Design:** The monochromatic design trend allows brands to create minimalist and versatile footwear options that can be paired with various outfits. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can capitalize on the chunky pool sandals trend by releasing innovative and stylish designs that offer both comfort and fashion. - **Fashion Design:** The fashion design industry can embrace the retro aesthetic trend by incorporating nostalgic elements into their collections to attract consumers looking for a blend of vintage and contemporary styles. - **Apparel:** The apparel industry can benefit from the monochromatic design trend by creating clothing items that complement the simplicity and versatility of monochromatic footwear, allowing for effortless outfit coordination. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Chunky Branded Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adilette-22-xlg.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md) - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Stylish Slide Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-slide.md) - [Chic Comfort-Focused Sliders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-recovery-slide.md) - [Elevated Chunky Base Slip-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chunky-boston-clog.md) - [Comfort-Focused Fashion Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-people-x-dr-scholls.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Designer-Backed Low-Cut Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/court-boost.md)
