Smart Slippers
Desired by Men
No more cross-stitch rose buds
for his Christmas slippers.' The
well-dressed man of today wants
his slippers as smartly and cor
rectly styled as his sports, bus
iness or dress shoes.
Simplicity's the word. Leath
ers that are the 'last word in
luxury on the foot. Colors that
follow the style trends in mere
formal shoe fashions.
The Italian influence is as
strong here as it is in other di
visions of the shoe wardrobe. In
other words the slipper is slim,
trim and elegant. Not just a com
fort shoe, but a style shoe to
slip on for moments of relaxa
tion.
The higher cut on the instep
is a marked trend, with the same
eloneated slender look that
marks the regulation slip-on
This even extends itself to boot
lines in glove leather, in slipper
shoes so flexible they can be
folded up and slipped in your
pocket. Foam leather insoles add
the final touch of cushion ease
to shoes of this type.
The classic leather slipper, un
adorned, adds a fashion note in
higher vamp, lower sides and a
whole range of new bright pastel
as well as dark colors.
Pipings of vivid color on black
are a new note to emphasize
long slim lines without a decor
ated look.
The mule type of slipper is
still in demand, but this too has
gone high-hat in styling with a
continental air and new soft tan
nages in glove and saddle leath
ers. The latter is particulaily
popular in slippers of moccasin
type.
