PRINTED SLIPPERS
Founded 66 years ago by retailer Henri Bendel’s nephew, Belgian Shoes is a favorite brand among tony Upper East Side-types. (Tommy Hilfiger is a fan.) The roguish animal-print calf-hair here adds edge to a low-key dressy look. $490; belgianshoes.com
CLOGS
The sturdy wooden sole and heel of the Matilda clogs are made of lightweight linden and balanced by a sprinkling of embroidered daisies that decorate an upper crafted from black silk. Taken together, it’s a luxurious spin on a ’90s throwback. $290; the-sleeper.com
