Derek Geddes of Elizabeth Galloway sent me a fascinating article on the demise of societies efforts to dress better, that it's all a sign we have given up. This article references the recent riots of course and the abundance of sweatpant wearers. While many of us do actually make an effort it isn't all wrong. So how about a way to be comfortable and fashionable at the same time? Honestly jeans everyday is about as bad as it gets for me but one can still wear it with more formal pieces.
Hugh Hefner demonstrated that he can wear slippers everyday, even if that meant leaving the house to attend premiers and events. And while he made it famous he wasn't the one that made it trendy. Recently at Milan FW we saw a few men donning slippers as a fashion statement and it really isn't that hard for you to do the same thing. Just look at Stefano Gabbana and his adaptation. It's simply a loafer equivalent and should be worn with the same ease.
Stubbs and Wootton have famously created a collection of these slippers in an assortment of fancy design and fun colours but I was particularly impressed with Del Toro who embroidered animals (as seen at the top), initials or your own preferred style as they can custom make your pair. Now that's customer service. Would you wear this style?
Of course if you're going to do it you may as well go all out and try something like the spiked and glittery dragon-scaled Christian Louboutin slippers. Just watch where you walk before you hurt someone.
