Nothing is easier than a slingback, but at the same time, nothing is more annoying than a sling that keeps slipping. Enter Philippe Model’s Elastique collection. For Spring 2014, the Parisian accessories brand (originally a famed millinery) electrified the straight-laced staple with a shot of upbeat youth. The thick, sporty band is sure to keep you snug, even if you tend to fall between sizes. For once your toes will be able to move around, which is crucial with a pointed toe. If they’re immobilized, your entire body will ache and come that certain time of night, decide the game is over. Now the only problem is deciding which color to get! At $525, I’m thinking I might splurge for two pairs. What do you think of the updated slingback style? At Barneys New York for $525.
