Today, women's fashion has become very democratic. Practicality and convenience are more present in it, and such a combination as a romantic dress and gym shoes will not shock anyone.
Graceful sandals or stilettos do not go out of fashion, but in many cases give way to comfortable shoes without heels.
Those who follow the fashion probably guessed that we will talk about slip-ons. They are so universal that they make it possible to create many images. And if we talk about their new version - slip-ons on the platform, then this year they are breaking all records of popularity.
A bit of history
This shoe first appeared in 1977 and was intended exclusively for surfing. Its creator Paul Van Doren coined the name of the original models - slip-ons, which means “no shoelaces” in English. Indeed, slip-ons look like sneakers, which instead of lacing on the sides of the tongue have elastic inserts.
They did not last long as sports shoes, and already in the late 80s, young people, fascinated by these shoes, began to wear it for all occasions.
Variety of looks and finishes
Today, every woman’s wardrobe contains slip-ons. Their practicality and convenience crossed out all age barriers, and we should not even talk about young fashionistas. Slip-ons on the platform became for them an excellent option for stylish shoes that fits any clothes.
Its top is made from practical materials such as cotton, jeans, canvas, suede or leather.
Due to this diversity, they are worn not only in summer, but also in spring and autumn. By the way, notorious fashionistas manage to wear leather slippers on the platform until the first cold weather, skillfully combining them with a trench coat or oversize coat.
Another reason for the charm of these shoes - a huge range of colors and different decoration.
White and black, plain and color, both bright and pastel colors, cell, strip, polka dots - it’s almost impossible to list the colors. Add to this all kinds of decor - sequins, sequins, rhinestones and various prints.
That is why many people prefer to have several pairs - casual and smart, and even black slip- on sneakers on the platform (photo above) are increasingly becoming an alternative to various demi-season shoes.
What do slipons wear?
Since modern fashion has passed all the canons and prohibitions, giving women of fashion the opportunity to realize any fantasies in their image, you can wear slip-ons with anything.
- Jeans and pants. While this shoe almost fits all styles, it looks most stylish with ripped or skinny jeans, with pipe trousers or capri pants, creating a unique look in casual style.
- Skirts of various lengths made of silk, satin, lace and other fabrics look great with slip-ons. This is a great outfit for work, dates and fashion events.
- Bodycon or loose silhouette dresses combined with these shoes make it possible to create a practical look for informal meetings and walks.
- Shorts and slip-ons, complemented by a T-shirt, top or a plaid shirt - a classic image of a city girl who never goes out of style.
And if you purchased models with thin soles or platform slip-ons, what to wear with them - do not even think about it. Experiment, boldly create the image that most impresses you and emphasizes your personality.
Slip-on care
Since these shoes are in great demand, the question immediately arises - how to care for them. There is nothing easier. Slips on the platform or on the low sole are easy to put in order by placing them in the washing machine and choosing the appropriate mode. They tolerate this procedure very well, and after washing look like brand new.
