# Minimalist Pastel Pink Sandals Vans' New 'Slide-On' Silhouette Features a Subtle Design By Riley von Niessen | Published 2017-12-29 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slideon References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2017/12/vans-slide-on-evening-sand) & [vans](http://vans.com) Although the spring may be a long way away in the minds of many consumers now that winter is in full swing, Vans is readying for the rise in temperatures by unveiling new models that are perfect for the beach, such as its 'Slide-On' silhouette that boasts a muted pastel pink colorway. The simple sandals maintain a monochromatic colorway that's dubbed 'Evening Sand,' with even the brand's name featured in a matching hue in the form of an imprint on the large straps that hold the sandals onto the wearer's feet. Light texturing marks the soles of the sandals, and careful stitching provides some embellishment to the straps that are secured directly onto the soles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Pastel Fashion:** Brands can capitalize on the popularity of simple and muted fashion with light and subtle colors. - **Beachwear Footwear:** Companies can make popular footwear specifically targeted for beach enthusiasts. - **Monochromatic Design:** There is an opportunity to create modern clothing and accessories that feature one color and simple designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Clothing and accessory brands can create new lines that feature minimalist and muted designs. - **Footwear:** Shoe brands can target beachgoers by producing comfortable and stylish footwear specifically for the beach. - **Retail:** Retailers can utilize the popularity of monochromatic and simple designs to create unique and modern in-store displays and product lines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Summer-Ready Comfortable Sandal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandal-designs.md) - [Pink Fuzzy Slip-On Loafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-mule-1.md) - [Dynamic Neutral-Toned Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanuk-1.md) - [Cool Blue-Tonal Summer Slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-force.md) - [Woven Sandal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-sandals.md) - [Coastal Beach-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voile-blanche.md) - [Stylish Slide Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-slide.md) - [Pearl Bead Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pearlized-pack.md) - [Chic Comfort-Focused Sliders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-recovery-slide.md)
