What’s not to love about novelty slippers?
Delivering on all fronts, they bring both comfort and joy, all in one quirky little package, making for the perfect pick-me-up for any special man in your life - even if that special man is you. From relaxing at home on the weekend to wearing them to lounge around on holiday, wherever you may be, you can live a lifelike Tom Hanks in Big, chanelling your inner child with every step you take in your new fun furry friends.
Even better, this season, it seems like novelty footwear is in. London-based designer JW Anderson’s most recent shoe release that’s a hit favourite amongst the fashion crowd is novelty at its finest. A collaboration with Wellipets, who made the frog-themed wellies that were famously worn by Prince Harry as a child, JW Anderson has updated the classic Wellington boot to a mule suilhouette, not forgetting the all important frog face, of course.
Whether you’d like to stomp around in the classic masculine bear claw, would rather cute animal shaped feet or want to show your appreciation for the Harry Potter franchise, the vast range of options available ensure there’s a pair that will tickle your pickle.
Whichever you choose, they’re sure to be a good conversation starter - whether it’s out of admiration, or, perhaps more often than not, disdain.
