Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to scour the biggest clothing specialist retailers to find the ideal on-trend sandals. The quality of the offerings posed by supermarket alternatives can prove surprising, and one particular product has had fashion editors fawning over them.
Sainsbury's price their range of Birkenstock-esque sliders at just £6 and fashion expert Harriet Walker, of The Times, admits that these are her footwear of choice for the summer season. With many people feeling the pinch of the cost of living crisis, these challenging times make it very difficult for shoppers to justify paying over the odds for an in-season item.
Although that doesn't mean that you have to go down the disposable fast-fashion route to find your next wardrobe hit, as Walker argues. Finding value buys with longevity potential, while also being beneficial to the planet, is a difficult task, but knowing where to look is the key.
