Few things communicate luxury quite like a well-appointed pair of hotel slippers. Designers are bringing that energy to the everyday with inspired slippers that are created for the streets. Miu Miu arguably started the trend last fall with a logo’ed leather pair that set the tone and The Row has made the slipper one of its house codes, most often paired with louche silhouettes in neutral tones.
Vogue’s Favorite Slippers:
Consider the slipper the less feminine take on last spring’s fixation on the ballerina, primed to be paired with maxi dresses and easy trousers with tanks as the weather warms up. Surprisingly versatile, you can style yours with denim for weekend wear, suiting for the office, and nearly every occasion in between.
From sleek satin pairs by The Row and Loro Piana, to fur-lined Toteme slippers, and leather styles from Proenza Schouler and Bottega Veneta, the options are nearly endless—and wildly comfortable. Pair them with socks now for warmth or wear them solo come spring, simply slide into the slipper look and thank us later.
Polished Sport
Embrace the anorak trend—but make it extra elegant by pairing yours with a poplin midi and elevated accessories. A satin slipper is the ideal shoe to keep the whole thing sleek but still perfectly casual.
Back to Black
Sticking to an all-black color palette can sometimes feel like a revelation. The trick is in adding interest through texture, proportion, and shape—like with a wool felted cape, voluminous Bermuda shorts and a cool pendant necklace. Silk blend mules are just delicate enough to be unexpected but still wonderfully balanced.
The Long Story
Starting with a base of a fitted maxi knit dress allows for some truly interesting layering. Add a coordinating sweater around your shoulders and continue with an oversized leather topper and gloves. The results are effortless but unmistakably chic—especially when paired with easy leather slippers by Proenza Schouler.
Put it in Neutral
The whole idea of the slippers moment tends to revolve around a black satin or velvet pair—which is, of course, lovely. But the whole look takes on a different vibe in ivory silk jacquard by The Row. Leverage all of that lightness with cashmere separates grounded by a snakeskin belt and a light gray tote.
Better in Denim
Why not skip the booties and loafers this time around and pair your go-to denim with some knit socks and fur lined slippers by Toteme? A smart double faced wool jacket with traditional Chinese buttons and a pillbox hat offer a feminine touch to weekend wear, while a little ’90s inspired suede bag provides a welcome modern element.
Off to Work
While the office can feel like a pumps-only zone, mix things up with a luxury slipper—worn with a pencil skirt and coordinating vest, and finished with a tailored jacket. Note: this look can double as a date night moment—just add a sleek satin bag and statement bangles.
