''They're in style," said the Boston teenager. ''You can wear it with whatever you want. You can wear them with pajamas." The plastic slippers, imported from various makers in China, are sold in many places, including Chinatown shops, trendy retailer Urban Outfitters, and department stores. The prices range from as little as $3 a pair from a Chinatown street vendor to about $20 at Filene's. While there are no numbers to quantify how many slippers have been sold, retailers say the style is one of the summer's big fashion hits. ''Everybody's wearing them," said Brian Hull, store manager for Urban Outfitters in Cambridge.
