Worn around the house with your PJs or dressing gown on colder days, a good pair of men's slippers will not only keep your feet snug but make you look like you actually care about yourself, too. Which our age of mindfulness, matcha and aggressive wellness, this is never a bad thing.
Be they velvet-covered or shearling-lined, invest in a good pair of slippers and you'll find you wear them more than any sneaker or Derby shoe in your line-up. A good pair should keep your toes toasty without leaving your feet clammy and odorous. And, crucially, if you do default to them on a bin night, they shouldn't compromise the sartorial rep your neighbours have of you, either.
From functional home comfort to the classic leather-bound styles of British cobblers and the zhuzhed-up styles of Italian fashion houses, here we’ve selected the best of this season's slippers, so you can put your feet up in style.

How do I clean and care for my house slippers?
The very first thing we’ll always say when it comes to caring for a newly purchased garment is (once more for the people in the back) you must read the care instructions. Some pairs of slippers will be machine washable, whilst others will advise that you simply wipe them clean with a cloth. The information is always there, you’ve just got to follow it to the letter.
Which slippers are best for sweaty feet?
The most important thing for our perspiring friends is to choose a lining that's breathable and promotes airflow. We'd suggest opting for a pair with a bamboo or cotton lining, as it's these fabrications that work to wick moisture and keep you dry and comfortable for longer.
