Let Slip

Sneakers that combine functionality and style will always have our tick of approval. So it’s no surprise the iconic Vans Slip-On is on high rotation whenever we’re selecting a pair of kicks. This month, the silhouette has become even easier to slide into, with the introduction of Slip-On Mules (featured opposite). The Mule arrives in Classic and Old-Skool shapes, in a variety of colourways. We grabbed a few of our favourite Slip-Ons and styled them six different ways.

Polished Layers

Sneakers don’t always have to equal a streetwear sensibility. Combine a classic black Slip-On with tailored pants for a sleek and sophisticated get-up that says ‘I’ve got my shit together’.

Monochrome Magic

Monochrome can be anything but boring. Work the details in your shoes back with your clothing and accessories for an outfit that’s casual, yet put together.

Pastels and Brights

When wearing pastels on your feet, don’t shy away from injecting bright shades into your clothing as well. It’s a fact that colour equals happiness.

Luxury Athleisure

Slipping on a pair of Vans and trackies to duck down to the shops is the ultimate in guiltypleasure dressing. The addition of a luxe statement jacket instantly elevates things, meaning you won’t have to worry about bumping into someone you know.

VANS CLASSIC SLIP-ONS CHECKERBOARD $99.95 STYLIST’S OWN T-SHIRT RVCA NEO DENIM JACKET $99.99, RVCA TRIPOD JEANS $99.99

Colour Block Meets Pattern Clash

Mixing stripes and checks needn’t be scary. If the combination induces terror, tone down the look with blockcoloured jeans and a jacket.

Going Loud

Clashing the iconic Vans Checkerboard Slip-Ons with a novelty sweater can add a touch of fun and personality to your outfit. If you’re new to loud prints, keep things simple on the bottom half and let your sneakers and jumper do the talking.
