Welcome to winter. Where the daylight is often scarce and the air is always cold, but the opportunities to simply hang around the house are plentiful. Be it snowbound Saturdays, relaxing nights by the fire or lazy holiday mornings, the dress code should be casual and cozy. And nothing quite fits that bill like a proper pair of house shoes. If you haven't indulged in the luxe, insouciant pleasure of padding around the house in a warm pair of cushy slippers, you're not living well, my good man.
The real question is, what kind of slipper guy are you? Are you the dapper type who enjoys a nice cigar, the casual flannel type sipping on eggnog or the kind of guy who might run outside in his house shoes from time to time? We've searched high and low to find the best slippers for any guy, no matter the personal style or budget. The one thing they all have in common is that they're comfortable as all hell. But a word of warning: Once you get into a slipper routine, it's hard to go back to real everyday footwear.
