Here are some great options that will help you glide through the rest of your summer.

VANS – sort of the be all end all when it comes to skate shoes. Everyone making slip-ons right now seem to be influenced by them one way or another. Here are some options from the brand that started it all.

So good, we couldn’t choose just one – VANS Classic Slip-On has been updated with soft Torino leather and suede in both Dark Slate Blue and Winetasting red. The perfect end-of-summer / almost-Fall transition sneaker that you can wear with shorts or black jeans. Buy them both here. 

American Eagle Outfitters – Embrace your wild side with these AEO Chevron Printed slip-ons. They’re made from soft cotton canvas and they wont break your piggy bank. Buy them through American Eagle Outfitters.

TOMS – An earthier option – these TOMS Freetown Sabados are what happens when a skater and a hippie have a child. Made with a solid canvas toe front and a perforated mid-to-heel. A bold approach to the brands most relaxed style. Also great for those unbearable August heat waves. Buy a pair here.

Calvin Klein – Langston Slip On Shoe is a basic, no fuss option. It’s also the featured item in their advertising campaign. It’s also on sale – so think fast. Purchase here.

J.D. Fisk makes a more futuristic looking slip on. Made in either black or brown leather with a translucent rubber sole. A quirky twist on an already quirky kick. Purchase through MyHabit.

How you dress says a lot about who you are. Your outward appearance is a reflection of your inner self-image. So if you feel as though you are chaotic and messy, you will look unkept and sloppy in your day-to-day life. We all look to celebrities to mold our looks, but there is a level of imitations that lessen your ability to be you. Place of Elms is looking to change that, with some legendary stylists in their space and giving some fans an insight into how to dress like themselves, while still looking like a celebrity.

“We believe reverence is the essence of luxury, and truth is the ultimate aesthetic,” says the founder and designer behind Place of Ëlms, Lennie Moreno. “Recognition must be given to the stylists, as they are shaping how entire generations dress. Honoring them is honoring the invisible labor behind the visible show.”
