The Plush Velvet Slipper Shoe

Cinderella may have opted for style over comfort when she chose her glass slippers. But Prince Charming was smart enough to opt for both when he chose the velvet slipper.
But when we say ‘velvet slipper’ we don’t mean the common or garden house slipper. We mean those you can wear to add a touch of the debonair to a casual outfit or to complete your already dapper look.

Herring shoes – the Monarch
Looking quite regal with their hand embroidered golden Herring Crest; these Monarch slippers are acceptable footwear for wearing with dinner jackets at home or at ones club. But also would look great with a pair of jeans or coloured chinos. With six colours to choose from you could match or contrast with your coloured chinos.
Colours are black, purple, green, red, brown and navy.
The sole and heels are leather. Price £135 Available online from www.herringshoes.co.uk

Angelo Galasso – the Velvet Loafer
Definitely made to be worn outside. Galasso has a few designs for his velvet loafer ranging from the more classic black pair with golden embroidered initials on the front....

....to the more ostentatious china blue pair with its contrasting red rope tassels and AG monogram. The velvet is the same, made from a luxurious blend of silk and cotton.
Price £750 from www.angelogalasso.com or his boutique store at
