Velvet slippers are versatile, comfortable and effortless. In fact, they work extremely well for a casual chic outfit. Let's say you have last minute dinner plans and you need a quick and easy ensemble. Well, if you own a pair of slippers all you need are blue jeans, white tee and black blazer and in 5 minutes your out the door. It's that easy. But, if you don't own a pair, look into the ones at Del Toro because they offer a wide range of slippers for just about every type of gent.
I decided to go for a 50's inspired look, so I wore the slippers with a plaid paper boy Zara hat, micro check Descendent of Thieves shirt and plaid blackwatch Uniqlo trousers. I know it's a lot of plaid but I toned it down with a tan cardigan from Fresh Jive and vintage brown belt. Finally, to highlight the red stripe detail on the slippers, I wore red socks from Etiquette Clothiers.

I love your philosophy. Sometimes you really don't have enough time to put a lot of effort into an ensemble. But fortunately, it doesn't really take hard work to look stylish. All you need is to be surrounded by a lot trendy pieces. That way, no matter what you grab, it just seems to work. By the way, I love your interpretation of the '50s.

I think what made this outfit a visual win are the socks - it definitely brought everything together and at the same time gave each piece its' distinct place. #belegendary
