At the moment, we’re all spending a lot more time indoors than usual. As a result, it may be time to level up our slipper game. With working from home (WFH) comes the need to find footwear to boost our confidence and comfort, like slippers that make us feel like a boss. Our correspondent Jillian Tangen has rounded up the best chic luxury slippers right now for curling up with – or for working from home.
the power of a great slipper should not be underestimated
Under normal circumstances, I don’t give much thought to my indoor footwear. If it’s warm or I have a fresh pedicure I go barefoot around my house. And if it’s chilly, I don a pair of socks, or the sheepskin slippers that were gifted to me by my mother-in-law. But now that I’m spending nearly 100% of my time inside the house, I’m giving my choices in slippers – or lack thereof – a second look.

And while I am loving this new cozy work from home friendly style, I can’t help but feel like my look is a little incomplete. That’s where a chic pair of house slippers comes in.
