What is the difference between slipons and loafers, sleepers and espadrilles?

Most of all, they resemble sneakers, but do not have laces, but are worn on the leg with the help of two elastic bands. They have a rather thick one-piece rubber sole without a heel.

The upper part of the classic slipons are made of thick cotton fabric. True, today, on the basis of this model, slip-ons with leather upper, slip-ons on the platform, slip-ons with metallic inserts on the nose are produced. Every year, all new trends and trends in shoe fashion are added to their designs.

Initially, this model of the shoe was designed by Stuart Vance for surfing. Vance sought to create lightweight, comfortable shoes that would be easily removed and quickly dried. And since the sneakers were clinging to the board with their own laces, sneakers without laces appeared - slipona.

The classic coloring of Vans slip-ons is considered to be a black-and-white cell, although this graphic pattern still does not lose its popularity.

Almost 50 years have passed since the creation of the slipons, and now the moment came when they triumphantly returned to street fashion. During this time, the company has made a serious rebranding, and instead of bright shoes for skaters, the collection now has lightweight slipons, with improved shock absorption, and even heat-resistant slip-on slippers for the spring and autumn season.

1. Knitted upper layer makes the slipona light and soft.
2. They have excellent shock absorption, comfortable sole.
3. Air is passed through - it is not hot in them in the summer.
4. Thanks to the elastic inserts, the slipons are easy to take off and put on.
5. Slip-on sneakers are easy to clean - can be washed in a washing machine.
6. Low price compared to leather shoes.
7. Bright and stylish colors.

Today, more and more models of shoes appear on the market. Some have a similar appearance and differ only in details, and some, although outwardly and not similar, have consonant names. We will deal with all of them in order and find out what distinguishes some types of fashionable shoes from others.

The difference between lofers and slipons is, firstly, that they are made of leather or leatherette. Secondly, the main highlight of the loafers are leather tassels on the toe as decoration.

Sometimes brushes are replaced by a wide decorative lintel. Classic loafers are also distinguished from slip-ons by the presence of a small heel and the lack of elastic bands that facilitate dressing.

What are sleepers? And how not to confuse them with slips? Sleepers evolved from the home shoes of English lords. Therefore, they are most often made of velvet, satin or suede.

Soft, graceful, light, they are mostly decorated with embroidery, rhinestones, applications. They have a rather pronounced one-piece tongue and a thin flexible sole with a small heel.

Slip-ons are most like espadrilles. They are united by a dense cotton top, solid sole without a heel, lightness and informal style.

The only tangible difference is that the espadrilles have a sole not of rubber, but of jute. And may have a variety of fasteners, straps, as well as an open toe or heel.

Sneakers, as the ancestors of the slipons, are very similar to them - the top layer of fabric and a thick rubber sole without a heel, and differ only in the presence of laces.

Moccasins and slip-ons, perhaps, are united only by the softness and comfort of both models. Moccasins are made only of leather or leatherette, their main distinguishing feature is a decorative seam at the toe cap. They can be decorated with tassels, like loafers, have decorative lintels or metal buckles, and they can also be of laconic design.

Top-sellers differ from all other models in that they have a decorative cord around the contour, which is tied in front. Classic models of top-sellers have a necessarily white grooved sole.

Sneakers and slip-ons are united only by a sport style. Externally, these two models can not be confused. After all, sneakers are voluminous, high-top sneakers with laces or velcro, often on wedge heels.

Slip-on sneakers easily and spectacularly blend with almost all casual style clothing.

Most often they are worn with jeans. It is necessary to choose cropped models of jeans or jeans with a twist, in order to flirt ankles coquettishly, and thereby emphasize the elegance of the figure. To enhance this effect, you can pick up boyfriend jeans.

Interesting sets can be obtained by combining slip-ons with pants, whether it be skinny pants, leather pants or joggers. Below are images in combination with leopard slip-ons. Today it is one of the most popular prints of female models of slip-ons.

Whichever summer jumpsuit you choose - a bright summer, classic denim or knitted military-style jumpsuit - slip-ons will be the perfect ending for a bow.

This year the trend is becoming increasingly popular - to combine dresses and skirts with sports shoes, whether it be sneakers, sneakers or slip-on sneakers. It is somewhat simpler to make stylish ensembles with slips, since they are devoid of excessive volume, and the colors can be chosen quite feminine and elegant.

We recommend to choose to slip-ons:

• casual dress shirts;
• concise basic T-shirt;
• A-line dresses with graphic besides.

Slip-on sneakers are also relevant in combination with miniskirts of bright colors or with a small print. Slip-ons with midi or even maxi skirts will surely set you apart from the crowd and attract attention, this option is for the most courageous and stylish.

Slip-on shorts will be relevant on vacation, because you can walk on the sand and walk along the promenade, you can wear them to a party to dance until the morning, and if you want to splash in the waves without removing your shoes. After all, they do not spoil from the water!
