The glorious shift from workday to evening is best acknowledged with an outfit change. Slipping out of your office attire and into a luxe pair of pajamas is an elegant ritual that signals it’s time to slow down and unwind. But why stop there? The best slippers can punctuate that feel-good time of day when all that’s left to worry about is what’s for dinner. (Not to mention, they make early mornings a tad nicer: It’s far easier to trot to the kitchen for coffee if you’re doing so in a pair of soft slippers.)
Vogue’s Guide to the Best Slippers for Women
Big fan of all things fluffy? Or perhaps you’re on the hunt for a style that nods to old Hollywood glamour à la Jean Harlow or Marlene Dietrich. Or even easy, lightweight shapes that you might find at your favorite hotel. Our top designs come in a refined mix of textures, shapes, and colors; whatever the preference, there’s a slipper style for that. Ahead, our guide to the best slippers for women.
The Hotel Room Slipper
Mimic your favorite getaway with a pair of slippers that nod to hotel room styles (think: simple, sleek, and slip-on). The draw of this silhouette is its versatility: It’s suitable for all climates, and best of all, packs up easily in a suitcase so you’ll never be uncomfortable on the road.
The Shearling Slip-On
When you’re ready to dial up the cozy, a pair of shearling slippers will feel like a treat. Not only does the texture look and feel luxurious, the material often offers breathability and moisture-wicking properties. A white pair like these from Eberjey is a classic, but more mod sensibilities will appreciate the square toe of these Naguisa ones.
The Boudoir Slipper
Whether it’s a beautiful satin, lush velvet, or soft suede, boudoir slippers always feel like a stylish choice. (And some, like this Emme Parsons option, are chic enough to wear out of the house, too.) Add a pair to your rotation to infuse your evenings with a touch of opulence—martini optional, but encouraged.
The Cabin Slipper
This is peak slipper, with details designed for both durability and comfort. Labels like Minnetonka and Ugg will always be a smart pick, as will luxury riffs from the likes of Ralph Lauren—their set is accented with hand-stitching and leather laces.
The Fluffy Slipper
If you’re going to wear slippers, why not go all in? These tactile styles are playful, plush, and oh so fun to wear. Faux fur meets cloudlike comfort in each of these neutral pairs, which make a great gift for the homebody on your list.
The Bath Slide
If you keep your slippers in the bathroom, invest in a pair that resembles a slide silhouette or are crafted in something like a terry cotton for absorbency—ideal for slipping into after a relaxing shower, no doubt.
The Indoor/Outdoor Slipper
While we love a supple slipper, it’s also useful to have a sturdier pair that can be worn for walking the dog or checking the mailbox. These chic styles check off both boxes; The Row and Bottega Veneta provide the elevated trademark of designer picks, but for something you won’t mind getting a little wear and tear on, you’ll never go wrong with a Birkenstock clog.
