Fashion’s Answer To FOMO: The Slipper Shoe

From designers like Prada and Amina Muaddi offering proper slippers at luxury prices to more contemporary, plush styles from the likes of Dear Frances and Sézane, the autumn/winter offering of comfy footwear is at an all-time high. For the gorpcore crew, there’s been a surge in puffer-style slip-ons too, from brands like Hunter Boots and The North Face (naturally). At spring/summer 2023, London designer KNWLS sent models down the catwalk in full-blown UGG boots, while Chopova Lowena made a case for glittery pom-pom slippers that our 12-year-old self could have only dreamed of. In the same way that we reintegrated all things sequinned and impractical into our wardrobe, brands have taken to offering a range of slipper shoes, from the traditionally functional to the eccentrically bold.
