Vans slip-ons are great to wear to the grocery store, to the end of the driveway to grab the mail, to the office, or out on the town. They show the world you’re low maintenance, but that you care enough to look fashionable and yet be comfortable at the same time.

There are so many ways to wear a pair of Vans slip-ons, whether you’re a guy or a gal. But surprisingly the most common way is to do so in a way that doesn’t cover up the shoe!

For gals, choose from anything like fitted jeans, capris, cropped pants, rolled up pants, pencil skirts, leggings, dresses, and whatever else you can think of (no visible sock lines, please).

For men, slip-ons are going to work with pretty much anything you’ve got going on. While Vans is known for their crazy, funky, colorful, all-over printed slip-ons, we want to remind you that Vans also does classic looks equally as well.

What’s not to love about this women’s style Vans Classic Slip-On (Patent Galaxy) Black/Black?

The slight sheen and sparkle of these say “notice me”, while the solid black blends the shoe in with more formal attire. These leather Vans slip-ons are also going to keep your feet nice and dry.

Also, a solid classic look is the Vans Classic Slip-On (Foil Metallic) Silver/True White.

On the guy’s side, things aren’t looking quite so sparkly, but these hot-looking classic slip-ons shine in their own right. The Premium Vans Classic Slip-On in Black (Veggie Leather) is part of the fall Vans California Collection.

Made of high-grade materials, these shoes are as durable as they are comfortable with their plush, synthetic suede collar lining and synthetic suede bindings. They’re ideal for rainy weather, preventing you from having to pull on some rubber boots just to hit the store.

But there are always ways to play up your casual look a little. Kick things up a notch with the Vans Classic Slip-On (Leather) Burgundy, featuring a low-profile style with leather uppers, elastic side accents, the signature Vans waffle soles and padded collars and heels for comfort.

Have you noticed, yet, that the above shoes all have a few things in common?

1. They all boast comfort, durability and functionality.
2. They all hold up against a bit of rain.
3. They are all considered “classic”, which is an apt term used to describe these Vans because, as the very definition of classic suggests, they are something that is “judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind.”
4. They are all available now at Baggins.

Just for fun, here are three other classic things we love:

1. Classic Martinis
