Women's sleepers

Slippers are classic shoes with a closed toe, no fasteners and a thin sole with a small heel. The material for sleepers is most often velvet, suede, leather or textiles. As a rule, these are summer shoes, however, they can also be worn in dry spring and autumn weather.

Sleepers first appeared in the 19th century. At the court of Prince Albert, they were originally worn as dressy home shoes, which is what they owe their name to. "Slippers" is translated from English as "slippers". The next stage in their development is going beyond home shoes and fixing as an exclusively masculine type of footwear, combined only with the most expensive and noble options for formal wear, such as a tuxedo or formal suit.

This is a worthy and elegant (and from the point of view of orthopedics, more comfortable and healthy!) replacement for our usual summer ballet flats.

Because of the similar name, sleepers are often confused with slip-ons, which is absolutely impossible to do. Despite the consonance in the name, slip-ons are a variant of sports shoes with thick soles that are completely different in appearance from slippers.

Sleepers are not divided into several different models, as a rule, it is always the same recognizable silhouette. Only the nose can differ slightly in them - pointed in classic models, rounded in more youthful ones. Keeping aristocratic traditions, these shoes should look elegant and elegant. For this, as a rule, high-quality materials are used - thin leather, delicate suede, soft satin.

They love sleepers on themselves and beautiful decorations - embroidery, lace, gilded accessories, stones and velvet tassels. It can be interesting to play with the color options and textures of your chosen pair. Velvet will look more interesting in rich colors or in leopard print, leather - in natural colors, or made "under the skin" of an exotic animal.

Focus on the quality of the material of your slippers, it is not for nothing that these shoes came to us from the royal court! Of the luxury brands, it is impossible to pass by the elegant slippers from Chanel or the daring Christian Louboutin, adorned with stylish metal spikes.

Slippers from Charlotte Olympia, decorated with funny cat faces, have also become very recognizable. You, most likely, have come across them more than once in the photos of fashionable fashion bloggers. They will be an excellent basis for creating a stylish, mischievous and romantic look.

On girls of small stature, slippers on the platform will look great.

Your sleepers do not have to be from a luxury brand, worthy analogues can be purchased from more affordable brands. You will find interesting and affordable options at Zara, Mango, New Look or on the website of the British brand Asos.At the latter, by the way, you can purchase both budget models of your own production, and branded ones with home delivery and a good discount.

You should not buy a fake under a well-known brand, and also beware of overly decorated and catchy models. Sleepers should look luxurious, not vulgar.

Quite versatile and comfortable sleepers still have some fashionable "contraindications". You should not combine them with sportswear - it will look like you forgot to change when you left the house. Too long trousers or a skirt will also not cross your look. Remember, sleepers only like open ankles. This implies the following rule - no socks with these shoes.

Don't forget a practical approach to keep your pair of shoes from wearing out as soon as possible.

So you should not include slippers in winter looks, as these are exclusively summer shoes. At most, you can put them on in early warm autumn and late spring, when it is still/already dry and not cold outside.

Do not forget also that slippers are exclusively urban shoes.. On the beach or a long walk in nature, they will look out of place.

• Cropped and skinny jeans or cigarette trousers. With jeans, you can create a casual look with an emphasis on bright and unusual slippers. Paired with a shirt and blazer, and paired with a pair of slippers, cigarette trousers are a good option for a summer office dress code.
• Shorts with sleepers will easily help to form a stylish and elegant set for a warm summer day.

• Short skirts + sleepers will become the basis for a romantic and elegant option for a walk or a date. Bet on the length of the skirt, it should not be below the knees, otherwise your image risks getting a little old-fashioned.

• The simplest combinations in clothes, such as trousers and a plain T-shirt, a bell skirt and a cotton top, shorts and a white shirt, can advantageously dilute and ennoble sleepers. It is necessary to pick up a bright and noticeable pair of shoes, and such a set will immediately turn from ordinary to trendy and stylish.
