The leopard print slip-on is possibly one of the biggest AW14 trends going around at the moment. Bloggers and celebrities have been seen ditching their heels in favour of these decidedly more comfortable and practical flats. Leopard print slip-ons make a great addition to a casual/relaxed outfit. They're busy and fun and you can walk in them for days!
So are they a worthwhile wardrobe acquisition? Absolutely! As this trend has snowballed its way across the globe, there's no shortage of them across the country and online of course. It took me less than five minutes to compile a group of my top picks, so the availability of this trend makes it one of the easiest to invest in, not to mention the extensive price range, which means they're also affordable. Yay!
At the moment the 'slide' is probably the most popular type of slip-on. It looks like a pair of loafer style Vans without the laces. Gradually more prints are coming out in this style, such as checkered and zebra prints, while black is also in at the moment too. Leopard print would probably be the easiest print to find though if you don't want to spend too much money because there are so many more options. Check out my pick of the top four 'slides'.

But who could forget about trusty espadrilles? They've been around for a few seasons now, but it just goes to show that 'espis' are practically a wardrobe staple. While the 'slide' is all the rage at the moment, a leopard print espadrille will most likely be easier to find and there will probably be many more options at cheaper prices too. I love espadrilles and prefer this style to the 'slide', which I find a little too masculine. Nevertheless, many a fashionista has managed to not only pull off the 'slide' but rock it quite well actually. So no disrespect, however, I will have to take sides here. Anyway, here are some great espadrilles.
So how does one wear the leopard print slip-on? Take a look at some of my favourite bloggers showcasing their style in these versatile shoes.
