Besides slippers being comfortable and in many instances chic, they are also very versatile in that we can wear them for a plethora of occasions.  From fashion-forward embellished Gucci pairs to all over ultra soft genuine shearling slides, there is one pair of slippers to satisfy everyone’s social needs.  Backless, airy, and swell-proof, slippers are great to keep under your desk when those heels are not bearable any longer, fashionable enough to wear around the house, and above all super comfortable.

lounging clothes, three graces london linen caftan

I make an extra effort every time I get back home at the end of the day to not slip into a non-acceptable although extremely comfortable sweatpants.  I always try to wear chic lounging clothes in the house.  I usually wear a nice long skirt with a tank top and a cardigan in the winter and kaftan or cotton jersey dress in the summer.

When we relocated to Dublin, Ohio, I made two promises to myself, one to never catch myself in a mall or anywhere outside the house for that matter, wearing sweatpants and two never to use a drive-thru.  I can happily say I’ve kept those promises so far.  It’s easy to let go of yourself for the sake of comfort, but lounging clothes don’t have to look like you are ready for bed.  Actually, most of this selection below will also be suitable to make a quick emergency run to the supermarket.
