A minimalist's dream: slippers without unnecessary details are the most fashionable shoes this spring and summer

“Home” slippers are officially leaving our homes and becoming a full-fledged part of the urban wardrobe – in the fashion lexicon they are known as slippers (or mules). However, this is not a sudden appearance, but a logical continuation of the trend, because for several previous seasons shoes without a back have confidently attracted attention and climbed the rankings as the most fashionable. From the Miu Miu x New Balance collaboration, which still remains an object of desire, to loafers with an open heel – this spring and summer the most laconic models of slippers will dominate.

The secret of the success of slippers is not only in absolute comfort, but also in exceptional versatility. Minimalist slippers do not “cut” the silhouette and do not dictate the length. They work equally organically with an open ankle and with long pants that lie softly on the shoes. And they also look decent with knee-length – with skirts or Bermuda shorts – and with cropped pants. These shoes easily replace ballet flats, sandals or classic loafers, adapting to any context – from casual to more formal.

The main principle of the spring-summer 2026 season is radical simplicity. Slippers should remain, above all, functional: comfortable, intuitive, put on in a second. This is their essence. Calvin Klein offers minimalist models with a soft square toe in shades of creamy suede or in a black and white textile range, while Courrèges turns to an even more refined form with an elongated, pointed silhouette.

This is a return to fashion that focuses on practicality without compromise. No longer do you have to sacrifice comfort for a statement look: modern elegance is built on simplicity, functionality and thoughtful design. In 2026, sleepers become a wardrobe investment base – from iconic models from Gucci and Miu Miu to variations in textured materials such as pony hair or raffia, which add tactile depth and a new sound to looks.

So we suggest you choose your perfect slippers for this and the next warm seasons.
