Smoking Is Bad For You. Smoking Slippers, However, Are Very, Very Good For You.

Slippers that you can wear out? We're all up in that shiz

Smoking is bad for you. Smoking slippers, however, are very, very good for you. In a season defined by footwear that seems to be born out of a “put a heel on it” philosophy, these flats are truly fresh. (Seriously, it’s like designers put Beyoncé on repeat and subconsciously heard the lyrics to Single Ladies as “If you liked it then you shoulda put a heel on it,” hence all the towering iterations of everything from clogs to loafers to Oxfords to hiking boots.)

The slip-ons lend themselves to fall’s sober take on separates and everyone’s sudden obsession with heritage dressing, and they look perfect with trousers, blouses, capes and structured bags — or satin PJs, if you really want to be a lady who lounges. Pick from velvet (a great way to touch upon the trend and be done with it) or leather (patent or matte), and then grab a pack of candy cigarettes and host a brandy tasting at your place, where louche behavior will not only be tolerated, but celebrated.
