The last outfit of the day is the one you wear at home

You get home, put down your keys and drop your bag. You change your clothes, let your hair down and slip into something else. It’s just another outfit change in your day, except this one is for no one but you. And it starts with your feet.

Shearling, felt or faux fur: it’s all about texture

When it comes to slippers, the material makes up half the experience. Shearling, felt and faux fur all give you that instant feeling of softness the moment your feet slip in. Shearling is the warmest and has the most structure; felt is lighter and stands up well to everyday wear; faux fur is the softest and one of the best options for creating that cosy, comfortable feel.

Choose the colour just as you would with clothing

Neutral tones are always a safe choice: beige, camel or ecru. They go with whatever you happen to be wearing at home and are easy to keep loving season after season. If you feel like something a little brighter, soft shades such as violet or pearl add colour without feeling out of place. Burgundy or bottle green, meanwhile, give a pair of house slippers a slightly more polished look, and that contrast works surprisingly well.

Prints belong at home too

Animal print is the most recognisable and one of the easiest to style, whether you pair it with plain pyjamas or neutral cotton trousers. Within this category, you’ll find everything from classic leopard print to more playful designs.

If you prefer something softer, floral prints follow the same idea: the pattern is there, but muted tones keep the overall look understated. Geometric prints are the most discreet of the three.

Backless, closed or ankle boot

Three styles, and three different ways to wear them. Backless slippers are the easiest to slip on and off, and they work particularly well with wide-leg cotton trousers because they leave the heel exposed. Closed slippers offer more support and are the natural choice when winter really sets in. And slipper boots, which come up above the ankle, feel the closest to wearing a proper shoe and are ideal if your floors tend to get cold.
