Moc Trial

Chip and Pepper Moccasins

Who can anticipate the strange, inscrutable movements of the trend-o-meter’s needle?

Take moccasins. Surely, you thought, with the waning (yes, waning) of the Ugg craze, the public’s penchant for cute, bootie-like shoes would abate. Nope. In fact, the look just got cuter and bootier thanks to Chip and Pepper. The duo behind the jeans has come out with a line of the most adorable mocs yet, featuring brightly colored fur lining and whimsical beaded designs on the toe. The collection gives the slipper-like shoes an ideal update, setting them apart from the host of Minnetonkas you’ve been seeing. And since there are only 500 pairs out there, they’re a great way to stand out and fit in.

Up next? Feetsy pajamas as daywear.

The way things are going, you never know.
