The nights are drawing in, and we are getting cosy and lighting our favourite candles [1]. Of course, a great pair of slippers is a non-negotiable part of sofa hibernation throughout Autumn and Winter, but let's be honest: they're often an afterthought in the style stakes. It's entirely possible that yours are from three Christmases ago, maybe reindeers, complete with antlers (although they probably don't play "Jingle Bells" since the dog got hold of them). If you haven't gone down the novelty route (Perhaps you're keeping that for your sloth handwarmers [2]?) the only other options might feel a bit more "mature" than your usual style. Granny slippers, basically. This will not do, and we refuse to compromise, so we have scoured the high street for the chicest slippers money can buy. Check out our gallery ahead and you'll be rewarded with pretty footwear and snuggly toes for you and all your festive gift recipients.
