Summer is the time when you want to enjoy the warmth and relax from the heavy winter clothes and shoes. So why not diversify your wardrobe with a new pair. Already not the first season, designers have been paying attention to men's slip-ons (photo) and women's. Shoes are very popular, and in addition, comfortable and practical. Let's see what it is and what to wear with.
Slip-ons: what is it?
The word comes from the English Slip-on. In fact, they are sneakers familiar to everyone, but there is no lacing. Slip-ons are shoes made of canvas with rubber soles. Created them and first introduced the world to Paul Van Doren in 1977. True, then they were regarded as purely sports shoes designed for surfing. Now slip-ons (male or female) are in the wake of popularity, they are worn by everyone and everywhere. A variety of models and colors allows you to use this comfortable and practical shoes to create any look. In addition, they are affordable.
Men's slippers: what to wear?
It is immediately worth noting that this shoe is extremely versatile and it is hardly possible to find something more suitable for the summer. Therefore, slip-ons should definitely be in the wardrobe of every man. If in the original version they were sewn exclusively from canvas, now this type of shoe can be made from completely different materials. For example, leather slip-ons will be a great addition not only to an informal look, but will be appropriate even in an office where the dress code is not too strict. Having a sporty nature, slip-ons are best combined with everyday clothes made from natural materials (cotton, linen). Also worth keeping in mind: putting on slip-ons - forget about socks. These two items of men's wardrobe are mutually exclusive. In the extreme case, if the option on bare feet is not considered at all, we recommend choosing the most lowered socks, such as tracks.
Option number 1: with jeans
Slip-ons (male or female) look the best with jeans, this combination can really be called classic. And it can be all your favorite indigo color or bleached fabric. However, slip-ons can be completely different, from bright canvas models to stylish suede options. The easiest option is classic jeans and a white shirt or t-shirt. For those who want something more laid-back and original, we offer an image, as in the photo. Ripped jeans and a vertical striped shirt look very stylish. Experiment with color contrasts. Using various shirts and shirts, this image can be presented in a new way every time.
Option number 2: leather slip-ons
Men's black or brown leather slip-on sneakers are a good choice to complete the look. This shoe is not only for summer, it is also suitable for spring, warm autumn. Tobacco shade is extremely popular, such models can be found in the collections of the most famous fashion houses. We offer only three ways to add leather slip-ons to your wardrobe. The best option, in which, as they say, in a feast, and in the world, and in good people, is shown in the photo. Dress pants in wool (blue or black) are complemented by a simple sweater with a rounded neckline and leather slip-on sneakers. Simple and tasteful. But if you replace the sweater with a white shirt and a military-style jacket, and instead of wearing trousers, put on cotton chinos, you get a youthful look. Slip-ons of tobacco color in this case will look extremely harmonious. Well, the third option is chinos of the color of Marsala, so popular this season, and a regular T-shirt. Slip-ons will complement the image, men's accessories (glasses, high-quality leather belt, massive watch on the arm).
Option number 3: slip-ons and shorts
This, in fact, is the basic set for which this shoe was created. In general, it is worth mentioning right away that short shorts for men do not decorate, so choose those that are of normal, classic length. Denim, cotton and linen models are well suited to slip-ons. For example, the photo is quite simple and at the same time stylish kit. Shorts and a shirt in this case are of the same color, and a printed T-shirt is worn underneath. The scope for choice is truly enormous. Shorts in safari style (swamp or white), for example, can be complemented with a white shirt with a short sleeve or polo and slip-on sneakers to match. As an option, pay attention to breeches and capri pants, which with this shoe will also be appropriate.
Slip-ons - the shoes are quite versatile, and in terms of the choice of "neighbors" are very democratic. Therefore, the classic model will be a good investment, and if you do not stint and choose a brand pair, then they will serve you for more than one season. For example, men's Adidas slip-ons. The famous company has released a collection of comfortable shoes made of light canvas. The color scheme is very rich (plain and with print), all models are complemented by a lining of a contrasting shade and have rubberized protection in the toe.
Option number 4: slip-ons and dress pants
Don't let such a tandem bother you, now it’s important to combine the incongruous, the main thing is to do it competently and in moderation. Of course, the image is a bit controversial and bold, but this is its charm. Pay attention to the photo. Light blue slip-on sneakers, men's dress pants, and a double-breasted jacket are successfully combined in one set. Note that the image itself is very catchy, so the colors chosen are quite modest: black and white. Very in place, aviator sunglasses, a leather bag over his shoulder, like a postman, is a good fit.
