fire: check. Hot cider and/or spiked
eggnog: check. Good book to curl up
with: check. Now, what’s keeping those
tootsies cozy whilst you partake in all that wintery snow-day goodness? It’s time to update your slipper wardrobe,
girl. You don’t want those little
piggies getting caught out in the cold!
Here are the seasons’ hottest slipper picks.
Slipper Boots
Forget
dainty ballet slippers and leave the Isotoners
on the spin rack. The boot obsession of
the past season or two has overflowed into your boudoir. Wear these cozy slipper boots with a short
nighty and robe set (though please do keep it G-rated if the kiddos are around)
or scrunched under flannel jams. I am in
LUV with Nordstrom’s
Pompom Fleece Slouch Boot in Mocha – $24.00 this hot look can’t be beat and
the low, low price tag is the cherry on top.
Smoke the peace pipe (unless you're still breastfeeding) in comfort and warmth in the moc-inspired Sabrina
bootie in black suede by Lucky
Brand – $58.95 or storm Aspen in style in the Ted Baker Polka in Stone –
$65.00.
Mukluks and Chalet Socks
Why did
mukluks and chalet socks EVER wane in popularity? I’m sure I’ll be able to answer that question
for you in a year or two when they’re so-over again, but for now, pair these
new-again styles with an oversized sleep tee or tissue-thin sleep shirt. I’m torn between pulling the trigger on the
uber-literal classic, the Woolrich
Chalet Sock in Dark Moss -$46.95 and Nordstrom’s updated Tasseled
Mukluk in Wine – $24.00. Old
Navy’s Cable-knit Slipper Boots in Saucy Red – $19.50 are another
budget-conscious option I’m a fan of.
Mocs
Another
recent revival footwear trend, the moccasin, is back in the bedroom. This look works best with a classic men’s
pajama bottom and a simple cami or tee. With
luxurious shearling lining and contrast grosgrain ribbon detail, Cole
Haan’s Bow Slipper in Lacquer Red – $128.00 makes a terrific gift
slipper. UGG’s Scalloped Moc in Deep
Purple – $100.00 offers up the same comfort and styling with less fuss. Try J.Crew’s Metallic
Bow Shearling Mocs in Soft Graphite – $50.00 for a more conservative
sensibility and enjoy the warmth and comfort of shearling at a lower price
point.
UGG has
given the common household scuff a decadent upgrade with the Pearle in Metallic Gold –
$74.00 while Patricia
Green’s Sadie scuff in chocolate – $76.00 qualifies as a hostess slipper:
have the fam and close friends over for brunch and forget the shoes. For an understated treat that’s just for you
and your toes, indulge in the Arlotta Cashmere
Slipper in Black – $80.00.
Enjoy
your snow days in style and good lounging to you, ladies!
