Essential items in any loungewear wardrobe, slip-on sneakers (also known as slip-ins) have become women's go-to hybrid shoe. At the crossroads between casual sneakers and elegant loafers, they are appealing for their lack of laces and immediate comfort. This pair of shoes goes with any outfit since they come in any color and pattern: from black and white checkerboard to solid colors in brighter hues.
The "Office Chic" look or how to wear slip-ons to the office
Contrary to popular belief, slip-ons (or slip-ins) are not just for Sundays or skateboarding. To go to work and achieve great results, pair your canvas or leather slip-ons with black tailored trousers or canvas trousers. Choose shoes in subdued colors like beige or camel and match them with a slightly oversized white shirt. This contrast between the structure of the leather and the fluidity of the clothes creates a trendy silhouette that has nothing to envy classic loafers and ballet flats. Plus, it's more chic than a pair of sneakers.
The "City Casual" style: The ally of your favorite jeans
This is the simplest and most effective look. Slip-ons pair perfectly with jeans (straight, mom, or even wide leg). With a well-cut T-shirt or a white blouse, it's a simple and effective outfit. To energize your collection and add a touch of vibrant color, opt for a trendy shade like sky blue or terracotta.
Bohemian elegance: How to pair slip-ons with a skirt or a summer dress?
Who said you should only wear ballet flats or mules with a skirt? Slip-ons (or slip-ins) add a touch of modernity to a floral maxi dress or a satin midi skirt.
Style tips: Khaki is an excellent neutral color that goes well with prints. It's the ideal outfit for a day of sightseeing on vacation: you stay elegant while enjoying superior walking comfort.
The "Relaxing at home" mode: Receiving guests with style
Slip-ons are the centerpiece of modern women's loungewear. More structured than a slipper but just as comfortable, they are perfect for entertaining guests at home. You can wear your shoes with your indoor clothing: flowy pants, homewear sets... It's the ideal model for those who don't want to sacrifice their look, even indoors.
The travel sneaker: Practical and ultra-comfortable
If there's one time when slip-ons become indispensable, it's when you're on the go. Easy to slip on and off without laces, they allow you to walk for hours without pain. With all your clothes (trousers, shorts, or even a jogging set), they are the perfect pair for traveling.
Material tips: Opt for quality leather and an ultra-soft microfiber lining for your slip-ons/slip-ins. They ensure good foot breathability throughout the day and you can wear them with or without socks!
How to choose the right pair of slip-ons?
With the multitude of models available on the market, it can sometimes be difficult to make the right choice. To invest in a pair of shoes that you will keep for a long time, here are our tips:
-
The quality of the materials: This is non-negotiable. Prioritize natural and breathable materials. Slip-ons (or slip-ins) made of organic cotton canvas will be perfect for summer lightness, while an aniline leather model will offer better protection and a more urban look.
-
Comfort technology: A good laceless sneaker shouldn't just be practical to put on. Look for advanced technologies, such as anti-perspirant linings or removable memory foam insoles, which transform the walking experience.
-
Style and patterns: If you like the vintage "skate" look, black and white checkerboard patterns are iconic. For a more timeless look that's easy to match with all your outfits, opt for solid, sober colors.
-
A fair price for a durable product: Durability is inseparable from ethical manufacturing. A durable model is a shoe that is not thrown away after one season. Choosing a product made in Europe with responsibly sourced materials guarantees a fair price, reflecting the quality of the craftsmanship and the longevity of the product.
