The casual slipper, what was once worn only at home, has been part of the global fashion industry for a while now.
It’s not restricted within those four walls anymore. The casual slipper, what was once worn only at home, has been part of the global fashion industry for a while now. And with summer making its presence sharply felt, it’s time to go colourful and open. And not only are these slippers available in a multitude of colours, they come in a wide variety of styles and quirky designs. You can pair them with far more outfits you thought you could.
To top that, slippers allow your feet to breathe and avoid those toes from catching an infection from perspiration. Model Zoheb Yusuf, who often sports casual slippers, says that this piece of footwear is the best option for the season. “It is summer and one can’t always sport shoes. Instead, go in for casual and trendy slippers and sandals. One can pick from a range of trendy ones that can be worn along with denims, shorts and even linen trousers for that matter. A trendy leather slipper will go really well with linen trousers,” he suggests.
Nonetheless one needs to keep certain things in mind to get the look right, he says. “To start with, one needs to have clean feet to sport trendy slippers. And, secondly, restrict slippers only to casuals and not for formal wear. When it comes to colours, pick brighter ones as they’re quite in vogue,” offers Zoheb.
Designer Manoviraj Khosla, who has designed some quirky and trendy slippers for men, says that the trend is getting quite popular in our city.
“Slippers are the ‘in’ thing right now. Initially, men used to sport slippers only when they are wearing kurta-pyjama and other Indian outfits. But now, I see a lot of men wearing slippers for casual outfits. But one needs to differentiate between chappals for home wear and the ones you can sport outside properly,” he says, adding, “Footwear in colours like lime green, orange, yellow and the printed ones are quite popular.”
Talking about the latest craze of wearing slippers, designer Paresh Lamba says, “Slippers are a big thing, especially during summer. The trend seems to have caught up among the youth in the city. They make a cool style statement when worn along with a pair of shorts. It goes well with denims and even linen. One can pair colourful slippers along with a casual tee and denims for parties. Colours like purple and green are quite popular!”
