Why Yes, Socks And Slides Are Definitely A Thing

Hear us out. - by Faye Couros
  • 22 Apr 2021

Do you slide on all your nights like this?

Watch: Emma Chamberlain's guide to how to look cute when you're on your period.

Frank Ocean asks this on his song aptly named Slide, and you know what Frank? Yes, we do think that we can totally slide on all our nights in this unexpected It-girl trend. 

The accessory in question? Only the combo we literally dream of after a day of wearing stiff leather or heels on our tootsies – socks and slides.

Yes, you did read that correctly. This trend has actually been a main stay for the past few years, and it’s pretty obvious that its staying power is down to its effortless nature.

It’s damn perfect for days when you dress in leggings, a crop top and a puffer jacket, but you still want to feel a little fashionable.

Also, tying up shoelaces can be such a bother when you just want to leave the house, just sayin'. 

We have been teaming socks and slides together for ages, and it has finally been embraced by celebrities and the fashion world, which has upgraded the look from taking-out-the-rubbish-bin-chic to going out to dinner with your girlfriends.

Here are some celebrities embracing the hell out of their socks and slides.

Sophie Turner was spotted in socks and slides taking her baby girl for a walk with her husband, Joe Jonas. And in actual fact, she's actually been wearing this trend well before mum-life.

Here Soph is walking around New York doing what any New Yorker ought: finding comfort in the busiest city in the world.

Nothing solidifies trends staying power like the hottest model in the hf and celebrity world; Kaia Gerber opts for an all-black sartorial moment that screams sleek activewear.

Justin Bieber opted for some non-fuss sock and slides for his outing with his wife, Hailey Bieber. His slides are actually from Kanye West's Yeezy collection.

Kendall Jenner is spotted wearing her ex-father-in-laws Yeezy collection slides. Also, looks like Kendall attends the same gym as Kaia.

Olivia Culpo.

Former Ms Universe and influencer Olivia Culpo chose a more hf way to wear this trend for a runway show (for sure from life pre-COVID).

Socks and heels are actually a super fashion-friendly look. However, it needs a little more attention to detail.

Victoria Secret Angel Elsa Hosk is famous for her always on-point streetwear style, so we are not surprised to see her win this trend.
