As my wardrobe is mostly black these velvet slippers are enlivening ♡ I usually wear a 10 but for some reason I had to go down to a 10. My personal style with dress shoes is inspired by David Johansson's Buster Poindexter. (sheer/knee socks/pant socks) And believe me, I've had dozens of compliments from both men and women on these styles!
