Slip into Something

Sue London Slippers

Here’s the thing about going out: It’s never as comfortable as staying in.

How much easier would social obligations be if you could wear the same thing you wear at home? Okay, so your PJs may be a little inappropriate for dinner at Ocean’s 21. But there are other just as cozy fashion choices.

Slide into a Sue London Slipper, a new line of balletlike flats, and you just might forget you ever left your living room. Made of buttery-soft leather, the shoes come in black, blue, and lipstick red. They’re cut extra low to show off toe cleavage but are sturdy enough to handle the meanest city streets. Best of all, they don’t have any ballerina detailing like bows or ribbons.

Some things really should be worn only in the privacy of your own home.

Available at Girlshop, 819 Washington Street, between Little West 12th and Gansevoort Streets (212-255-4985). To purchase online, go to girlshop.com.
