Fast fashion footwear brand EGO is known for a chic product range that is offered at an accessible price point -- its Poolside Perspex Platform in square peep toe is a statement piece that draws inspiration from [early 2000s nostalgia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heydude-x-mean-girls).

Remixing the seasons shearling fad, the [platform sandal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-elevation-slide) is covered in towel-like terry material in a bubblegum pink shade that is reminiscent of styles worn by starlets like Paris Hilton. Made with a pink synthetic upper, the shoe boasts a transparent perspex platform in a matching bubblegum pink and stands on a 4.5" heel.

This [fun summer sandal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandal-designs) is a nostalgic statement piece that is perfect for poolside events or casual nights out. The shoe is affordable as an added bonus, offered at just under $20 during EGO's 2020 Black Friday promotion.
