While nothing can take away our collective anguish, there is a smidge of a reason for hope. This fall, pinchy shoes are OUT. Instead, believe it or not, it’s now cool to wear slippers out and around town.
Up is down. Left is right. Slippers are the new high heels. Welcome to 2016, everyone.
GUCCI PRINCETOWN LOAFERS
As recently discussed, Gucci’s Princetown loafers are leading the charge. Celebs love ‘em for good reason (they look amazing, and when you slide them on, it’s like your feet are getting a hug from a golden retriever.) You can get these on the shelf or online in black or brown – or more exotic prints and colors. We love the zebra slippers.
The Princetown loafers are just one example of the trend, of course. What’s great about it is the implied feminism. You can be cool and sexy while still wearing slippers. That’s progress. Dress your Princetown loafers up or dress them down, style them with a pair of skinny jeans or a flowy skirt. Slide them on, and you’re good to go. You don’t even need to doll your feet up further with beads or ankle jewelry.
Who knows how long this slipper trend will last – will it get us all the way through the Trump Administration? – but it’s a welcome respite in turbulent times. Click the purple links or the actual images to shop and indulge! We’re loving the gold metallic.
