The concept of slipona came to us from America and translates as slip on shoes, which means to wear shoes. And in Russia, this name is given only to sports sneakers, in which there is no lacing. They were first released in 1977 by Vans, the founder of which was Paul Van Doren.
In appearance, this shoe resembles moccasins, loafers, sleepers and some other shoes. Initially, slipons were made specifically for male surfers, but then, thanks to a popular film starring Sean Penn, American and European youth from the 80s of the twentieth century began to wear this shoe.
In the past two years, the slipons are again in trend, but worldwide. They differ from moccasins, loafers and other low-heeled shoes in that they are sewn from canvas, and the sole consists entirely of rubber, like sneakers.
Modern technology allows the appearance of shoes to make so interesting and diverse that satisfies the tastes of all ages and segments of the population.
If earlier slipons had a monochromatic surface or consisted of a black and white checkered pattern, now the shoe designs are various. They begin with an animal print and end with floral, vegetable and other drawings.
What causes the popularity of slipons in women
From the very beginning, this comfortable shoe was the prerogative of men, but now the love of women for them can be quite naturally explained. For the first time, slip-ons with brighter colors especially for women, created by the same designer.
But today, women have to lead an active lifestyle, move a lot, stand on their feet all day, so shoes are worn on a special occasion. Increasingly, it has become noticeable on the streets that the main women's shoes are ballet flats, moccasins, slip-ons and other low-heeled shoes.
The popularity of slipon in women is due primarily to the fact that they are light, comfortable, they have a soft sole. And one of the main reasons for the love of women for them is that they are easily put on and can be thrown into an automatic washing machine, put on the "cotton" mode and in an hour they will be as good as new.
Initially, the plan of Paul Van Doren was to release lightweight canvas shoes that are easy to put on your bare feet. For this purpose, special elastic bands in the form of triangles were sewn inside the model. In addition, they tightly and beautifully wrapped the leg, and in the summer time they were not at all hot, the foot moved freely and did not sweat.
They are also indispensable on trips, excursions, and any female representative, from a schoolgirl to a housewife, will want to just walk around the city in fashionable and comfortable shoes.
Types of female slip-ons, whom they suit and how to choose
In general, slip-on shoes are considered sports shoes, but thanks to the designers, they may look different. There are models that resemble men's shoes, but most of them are produced with a romantic print that fits to dresses and suits.
Female models are:
- On a thick sole or platform;
- On a thin sole;
- With laces, rhinestones and so on.
Female slip-on thick soles are most popular not only among slender girls, but also with curvaceous ladies. Comfortable model allows women with a wide foot and high lift easy to wear this type of shoes. The sole is made of rubber or rope, and rubber is the most popular.
Models with a thin sole are less conspicuous, and, compared to a model with a thick sole, are more comfortable. Wear them more with jeans and other trousers. Slender girls, it is possible to combine them with a mini-skirt or dress.
Although slipons are considered shoes without laces, they have recently been released along with them. The fact is that the laces perform only a decorative function. They are simply attached to the surface of the shoe for beauty and that is why it does not become less comfortable.
In addition to laces, designers also use rhinestones, spikes, buttons and various patterns.
If there are laces on the slippers, this does not mean that you should wear them only on hikes, as they resemble sneakers. On the contrary, white, black and beige slip-on shoes with corresponding lacing will suit both the office and the place of work where there is a strict dress code.
What to wear with women slip-ons
Slip-on shoes are versatile shoes, so they are combined with a sports suit, and jeans, with a skirt of various lengths and even with a romantic dress.
They also like the older generation, but in order not to look ridiculous on their feet, one should choose the right model that would fit perfectly with their type of foot and not be mistaken with the colors.
In the summertime, an image of a girl with skinny jeans and a T-shirt is drawn, on which classical slip-ons from canvas are also appropriate, as well as models with a bright pattern. The picture can be any one, starting from a cage, pea, stripes, ending in flowers or leopard coloring.
Such fashion houses like Givenchy prefer a snake print, and such a popular company like Lacoste puts on its own crocodile logo.
For women serving in the office, discreet tones of slipons are suitable; they go well with a short and long skirt. Wearing them under the official suit is not worth it. The only business woman can take them with you in case she has to go on business to a construction site or on another trip.
And what to wear with jeans for women? Now it is fashionable to tuck the jeans so that the ankle is visible, so this model fits perfectly under the pants. The decor of the slipons can be different, starting from the denim surface and ending with animal paintings.
Leather and fabric slip-on sneakers are ideal for women with a light tan, and a floral print will decorate a woman of any age and will suit any outfit. It is desirable that the pattern of flowers was large.
If a woman of fashion prefers a sporty dress, then you should get slip-ons on a high sole. And for a romantic dress it is better to choose more delicate, monochromatic or with gentle coloring slip-ons on a low sole. It is also desirable to pick up these shoes in combination with jewelry, this outfit will look great not only on slender girls, but also on ladies of balzac age.
Under what you should not wear them
Despite its popularity and love from not only women, but also men and children, there are still some standards in the world that one must unwittingly adhere to.
However, you should not wear slip-ons with a business suit. On these trousers there are arrows, which are ideally combined with high heel shoes, and sports shoes will be inappropriate here.
You should not wear slip-on sneakers with a little black dress, which is invented for all ages for all women. In this case, it would be appropriate to look for shoes with a small heel or ballet flats, but not a sports model. Sheath dress has become popular because of the dress code, which exists in many corporate events, so putting on slippers for work in this form is ridiculous.
Slip-on ladies should not be worn with open evening dresses. It will be even more absurd than with a dress-case. Sports shoes, despite their popularity and adaptation to the urban style, is not intended for special occasions.
In the cold season, it is not only ugly and ridiculous to wear slip-ins along with coats and fur coats, but also inappropriate. In addition to the fact that the owner of the shoes will look strange in a fur coat with summer sports shoes, she will freeze and get sick.
Except for these cases, perhaps, there are no other images with which you cannot wear slipons, in fact, they are universal.

Two themes are relevant: either a very bright pattern, or pastel colors, such as pink, gray, blue, light jeans, and so on.
