Slip-ons with socks - bad manners or comme il faut?

Stylish shoes may well be practical and comfortable, and this fact is successfully proved by slip-ons. Outwardly, they resemble sneakers, devoid of the usual lacing. Lightweight sports shoes of this type look great in casual style. And due to the monochromatic color and lack of decor, they fit into business images, becoming a real salvation for office workers in the summer heat.

This type of shoe was invented in the 70s of the last century and was originally intended for surfing. However, a lot has changed since that time and slip-ons have managed to firmly establish themselves in the everyday wardrobe of both guys and girls. Modern slip-ons can be seen in many designer collections, which proves their huge popularity.

Slippers are one of the most comfortable footwear options. They consist of a thick rubber sole and a fabric upper. However, the upper part is not necessarily made of canvas, as was intended by the creator of slip-ons.

Designers use leather, denim and even suede as the basis for such shoes. All this gives slip-ons individuality and at the same time makes them suitable for different styles. But when composing images with slip-ons, it is important to give yourself an unequivocal answer to the question of whether it is worth wearing this type of shoe with socks.

Stylists categorically oppose such a combination. This is almost the same as wearing socks under sandals or open sandals. Socks, especially those that are brightly colored or embellished with inappropriate patterns, will ruin your outfit by making it tasteless.

But at the same time, slip-ons are shoes with thick rubber shoes in which your legs can sweat in hot weather. In addition, new slips can rub the skin for the first few days, causing inconvenience.

Therefore, many prefer to wear slip-ons only over socks, ignoring fashion rules. But in this case, you should not choose bright long socks that will catch the eye of everyone around you.

Women wouldn’t be women if they didn’t come up with a few tricks that make the combination of slip-ons with socks look quite appropriate. Let's look at several options for socks that can be worn under slips.

Choose non-classic length socks with an elastic band just below the ankle, which can easily be hidden behind the edge of the slip-ons. They will not stand out and spoil the image. By the way, it is better to choose a discreet color so that even the edge of the sock, visible from under the slip-ons, does not disturb the harmony.

Invisible socks are another find that will save you in such a situation. Like ordinary socks, they are made from synthetics or cotton. Such models without upper gum are completely invisible under slip-ons. In addition, they are very comfortable, because due to the silicone insert in the heel area, they do not slip off the foot.

And the last option is “tracks”. They stay on the toe and heel without going to the ankle. Especially popular are transparent "tracks" made of acrylic, polyamide or nylon.

In general, all of the above socks go well with slip-ons. If you choose colored models, at least try to avoid too bright colors or shades that contrast with your entire outfit and the slip-ons themselves. That is, when wearing white slips, choose light socks for them.

The rules of male style are not much different from those that the fair sex is forced to follow. All summer shoes, according to these rules, are worn without socks. And the models that you wear under the suit - with socks. Slip-ons, of course, belong to the first category.

In fact, how and with what to wear slip-ons, everyone decides for himself. You don't have to follow the fashion rules exactly if you feel uncomfortable. After all, the main guarantee of a pleasant appearance is self-confidence, which cannot be felt while your feet are sweating and you feel discomfort.
