Steal or spree: designer smoking slipper shoes

Slippers look set to take on a whole new life as the Autumn/Winter trend for slipper shoes gathers pace. From velvet smoking styles to studded pairs, there’s no end of versions out there right now. Our faves are masculine-inspired smoking slippers. We’ve rounded up a couple of pairs to either splash out on or snap up a bargain with, and we’ve rounded up a few top tips for making the style your own…

How to wear smoking slipper shoes:
* Take Emporio Armani’s lead and team frilly dresses and polka dot prints with slipper shoes
* Pair with dark denim jeans or classic black slacks for an androgynous spin on the trend
* Tomboy slippers look great with a pretty dress and thick black tights
* Opt for a simple denim and white shirt look to set off colour poppingly bright smoking slippers
