Docksta Slippers – From Beachside Relaxing to City Pulse
Docksta slippers are more than just an office slide. With their classic silhouette, Scandinavian simplicity, and comfortable fit, they have become a modern icon. The beauty of these shoes is that they can be styled much more thoughtfully than many realize.
Here are our best styling tips – for everyday wear, vacations, and more dressed-up occasions.
Relaxed and Minimalist
The Scandinavian Look
Today, Docksta slippers are an essential part of the capsule wardrobe – perfect for those who want fewer but better products that last over time and can be matched across styles for both men and women. During the summer months, breathable, loose-fitting garments are key.
Match with:
- An oversized cotton or linen shirt.
- Wide linen trousers or loose-fit jeans, preferably in light tones or classic blue denim.
- A simple genuine leather tote bag. Docksta offers a beautiful version handmade in our factory.
- Classic sunglasses, preferably a larger frame for a sophisticated look.
Natural tones like white and beige work particularly well. For a sharper contrast, try black linen trousers with a striped tank top and an open oversized shirt. Docksta slippers provide a relaxed yet conscious edge to the look.
Perfect for a warm day at the office, city strolls, or lunch on a terrace.

City Chic
Trendy Styling with Tailored Shorts
Want to create a trendier silhouette? Let Docksta slippers be the centerpiece of a city-inspired outfit.
Match with:
- Wide tailored shorts (think "old money" aesthetic).
- An oversized t-shirt or sweatshirt.
- Crew socks for a more fashion-forward, contemporary look.
- A crossbody bag, such as the Docksta laptop bag.
Perfect for office days or a day of shopping.

Feminine and Balanced
Pairing Slippers with Dresses
Contrasts create interesting outfits. Combine the robust feel of Docksta slippers with something softer and more feminine.
Match with:
- An airy summer dress.
- A midi skirt and a ribbed tank top.
- Delicate jewelry in silver or gold.
- A small shoulder bag like the Docksta Cleo Small or a clutch.
Whether you prefer a monochrome look or playing with colors and patterns, our design slippers—created in collaboration with various artists—add a modern edge to a romantic look.
Perfect for summer parties and vacations.

The Monochrome Look
A single-color outfit—for example, all black, all white, or sand-colored—creates a sophisticated expression. Let your Docksta slippers follow the same color scheme or break it up subtly. The result is simple yet very modern, particularly on men.
Match with:
- A black linen set (shirt and trousers) with a pair of Patrik 952 in black vegetable-tanned leather, preferably worn barefoot.
- A sand-colored lightweight knit sweater, off-white chinos, and a pair of smooth brown Patrik slippers.
- Coordinate your watch strap with the brown leather for extra detail.
- A midnight blue overshirt with matching long shorts and Patrik 952 in dark blue nubuck.
Sharp enough for both the office and after-work gatherings.
