Slides, Sock and Justin Bieber.

I think I can officially call myself a fashionista. I work in fashion, always have, and I know what’s up not just in the industry, but in people’s wardrobes too.

That said, I never vibed with the whole socks-and-sliders trend when it blew up in 2020. But it’s creeping back (at least for me), and I’m fully on board now. This strange combo is comfy as hell. You don’t need any overpriced designer socks—just grab a solid pair of No-Show or Crew socks and throw on some sporty sliders. Love it.

Lately, something’s shifting in my style and I’m pretty sure it’s my midlife crisis knocking. I used to be so picky—does this match? Is it sexy? Is it trendy? Blah, blah, blah. But now? I genuinely don’t care. If it feels good, I’m wearing it.

Have you seen Justin Bieber’s recent style? That’s my vibe. Baggy, oversized, effortless. I haven’t dressed like this since my teenage years, but damn—it just hits different now. I feel younger, fresher and rebellious.

And pairing it with socks and sliders? The perfect combo for a middle-aged woman like me.
