We’ve seen guys dress down a suit or formal wear by pairing it with sneakers or trainers, but what Kanye West brought is a whole different level to formal and informal splicing. Our eyes need to adjust a little to view slides and socks as an appropriate suit accessory – right now we just think it’s a pretty weird combo. That’s not to say slides are a lost cause; they are perfect for street style moments, and we are showing you how.
A fancy mule
Starting at the pinnacle of all things slides, a fancy mule is the perfect piece of accessory. Unlike a casual slide, it wouldn’t absorb the essence of a fancy ensemble; if anything, it’s likely to enhance it.
Platform slides
Do you need an instant height boost, but without putting your feet through hell in stilettos? Grab yourself platform slides; it’s a great way to kill two birds with one stone – you get to give your feet a much-needed break and stand tall. Score!
Regular with a twist
To borrow famed words from the popular Nigerian personality, Speed Darlington, “I’m not regular” and you shouldn’t be too. Regular slides may tilt towards being too basic, dampening the great vibe of a great outfit.
Be Kanye confident
Listen, rocking slides with an elegant formal dress, for example, needs Kanye’s level of confidence. Get ready for the no-so-pleasant stares, especially in a closed-minded, fashion-stagnant environment. But who cares, anyway?
