The 10 Best slippers

Founded in 1978 by an Australian with a love for the country’s prolific sheepskin materials, Ugg is the original sleeper brand. While they’ve come a long way from creating surfing boots, the company continues to be a leader in sheepskin-oriented comfort. Slipping your feet into these Ugg slides feels like one of life’s simple indulgences.

That may sound overdramatic, but it’s true. These slides will convert you into a true slipper fanatic. Made from impossibly soft sheepskin, they keep your feet wonderfully warm despite the slide shape, while the logo band keeps feet firmly in place. It’s like swaddling your soles in a silky wonderland.

This fun pair of Asos slippers bring a joyfully kitsch element to your around-the-house fits. Adorned with felt flowers, they feel perfectly suited for the latter end of the cooler months, as spring begins to blossom. This is also partly due to the slide style, which can leave toes a little cooler than you want – especially in this pair where the coverage isn’t quite as much as other styles. To combat this, slip them on with a pair of socks for a play at dad-chic. The top fits a little snugly, so we would recommend sizing up for extra movement.

Best: For classic comfort

This pair embraces old-school comfort in the best possible way. These M&S mule slippers are the pair you’ll find yourself returning to for slouching around the house – which in our opinion, is the sole purpose of a pair of slippers. The suede exterior helps insulate your feet, while the memory foam sole and fluffy lining make for ultimate comfort. The solid base and chunky tread mean they feel sturdy enough to take outdoors if you need to nip to the letterbox, without feeling like they’re tearing up the floorboards in your house.

Best: For adding a dose of glamour

Putting on these Olivia Morris at Home bow-embellished slippers felt like trying out a costume for a short period of time. If Blair Waldorf wore slippers, we imagine these would be what she would wander around the house in – perhaps even for a quick sojourn down the road for macarons. While, yes, they have a slight kitten heel, it surprisingly doesn’t at all detract from the comfort stakes of this pair. Match with a suitably luxe robe for casual-wear done right. Plus, these are currently on offer with nearly £150 off!

At just £12.50, these M&S Collection slippers were the cheapest pair we tested – a detail which by no means impacted their comfort or overall wearability. A hidden arch mould offers amazing support, while the unbelievably soft lining and knitted exterior offer classic warmth and make for hugely pleasurable wearing. For a solid staple pair that is sure to get you through the cooler months – this is the one to go for.

Best: For Sunday brunch

Sleeper has built a sartorial empire by designing sleepwear that can be worn out of the house. Championing the pyjamas-as-daywear trend, it should come as no surprise that the brand’s take on slippers is undeniably luxurious. These Mille-feuille flats are constructed from 100 per cent silk, making them deliciously soft to slip into, while the bows on the top are designed by the same textile house that supplies the Royal Family. Although this pair is certainly comfy enough to wear around the house, it would be an enormous shame to not show them off to the whole world.

What initially struck us about these Anthropologie slippers was how good they looked when left around the house. Thanks to their vibrant colour and almost wavy faux-fur construction, they felt as much like a piece of decor as a comfortable home for your feet. The faux-fur makes them no less soft or warming, and the lightweight sole is perfect for padding around the house.

Best: For luxurious sheepskin

Now these are slippers. Made by hand in Portugal, the loafer-style shape fully swaddles your feet for optimum warmth and comfort. It’s difficult to overstate the power of sheepskin; this natural material offers unparalleled softness and breathability, which means feet will be kept cosy without getting clammy or overwhelmed. The thin sole and suede exterior does mean that this is a pair best kept inside to ensure longevity.
