If it’s true that you can judge a person by their shoes, then it is perhaps even more so when it comes to their slippers. What you choose to put on your feet in your own home is a window into what you value most. As such, buying the perfect pair for yourself is an act of self-nurture.

If that all feels too hyperbolic, it feels safe to say that they’re at least a reflection of your favourite mode of relaxation and how high you like to turn up the heating. I’ve been hooked on slippers ever since my best friend bought me a hot-pink pair with monsters on when I was 10. Today, I write about style for a living, and have a healthy obsession with not letting my feet get cold – I have swallowed whole the idea that cold feet mean you can’t sleep. I also strongly believe that the right slipper can truly make time at home feel 110% more cosy, productive, sociable or fun; whatever you need it to be on any given day.
