What do you wear on your feet at home for a party?

[KateLumley]

Christmas party coming up, my turn to host. Planning to wear a lovely knee length dress, but not sure about shoes. I don't wear shoes in the house but slippers will not go with the dress.

Equally don't really want to be clopping around the house in heels

What would you wear?

Nothing! Never wear shoes in my own home (happy for others to though) and would probably take off any shoes in someone else’s home too.

Heels then after a couple of hours when I'm slightly merry I put on flip flops when I'm pished and dancing it's my bare feet. 👠👠🥂🥂

I've got some sequin slippers I save for parties! Would glam slippers work? Or new shoes that haven't been worn outside?

Flip flops?

Flip flops

Where can I get sequinned slippers, that sounds good.

What about these?

Ballet shoes?

I always wear shoes at home - we have flagstone floor all through downstairs - if be horrified if a guest took their shoes off, they'd get very cold feet and covered in dog hair

I wear moshlu ballerina slippers. I have warm sheepskin Lands End slippers for everyday but these little plain velvet ones for exactly the type of situation you describe. Mine are black but they come in a wide range of colours too

Stockinged feet normally

Slippers

We have guest slippers also. No shoes beyond hallway here.

Shoes for a party. We have stone floors throughout and a labrador. I don’t expect people to remove shoes here. (Floors washed daily!)
When I’m at home without guests I wear Celtic and co house boots.

I like those moshulu slippers. I don't care about shoes in the house, would certainly not expect guests to take them off. Just don't tend to wear them myself.

No outdoor shoes in the house here. It’s the law!!! I would wear a pair of flip flops (bare legs) or the slippers would have to do (with socks, stockings or tights).

Slippers? You can’t wear slippers 🤣 I wear a pair of ballerina pumps or just my tights

For dinner parties and proper parties always heals. And then later no shoes after a few drinks / dancing.

I'd also never expect party guests to take shoes off. Can't imagine being at a proper party in my socks, and taking heals off often completely changes the look of an outfit

I know this has been done a million times before, but if someone came to my house and wanted to wear outdoor shoes inside for a party, I would just be thinking off all the dog shit and grit they were walking all over the floor.

Fresh pedicure and sparkly leg warmers if it’s cold.

Embroidered loafers?

I bought some lovely velvet Birkenstocks for this exact scenario! I love them!

@Caspianberg

But, but, but, a party in socks, or stockinged feet....I just can't picture it. Nothing says 'let your hair down, dance, flirt, frolic, be amazing, like a pair of M&S poly cotton socks 😬

And no one walks to parties, surely it's a cab or a car there and taxi back.

@Caspianberg

Perhaps it depends on the type of party 😉

@KateLumley

What about these?

I brought those and returned them right away. They didn't fit very well and they aren't as shiny as in the photos on the website.

A fancy pair of wool Christmas socks over tights

I haven't heard this expression since the 1950s!! 😂
