So what’s the smoking slipper? Well let us give some insight into this fabulous shoe which packs a whole host of history too.

The smoking slipper dates back to the Victorian era and was designed when men started to realise the need to keep the muck away from the front door and would opt to wear a shoe indoor but one that could still be worn with everyday dress. It must be noted these men were usually those with deeper pockets.

Eventually men would wear the slipper to entertain in the home and it wasn’t long before the smoking slippers gained appeal and was soon designed for an entirely different purpose, to actually wear them outside the house.

However this came with limitations. Only formal dress would be allowed.Time has since passed and the smoking slipper more recently can be worn with a multitude of styles, checkout these mens and womens smoking slippers to rock the casual look.

They are often seen paired with jeans and a casual shirt or more commonly a smoking jacket but if your wanting to make a statement try the camo loafers.

The smoking slipper was originally made out of a velvet and commonly in the colour black however more bold colours like blue and yellow and woven canvas are used today and even embroidery is making an appearance.
