Pengalaman Berbelanja di The F Thing: Fashion E-Commerce dan Lifestyle Platform

by Lina Clémence July 23, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


Kali ini aku mau sharing tentang pengalaman berbelanja di e-commerce fashion yang menurut aku unik dan punya positioning berbeda dibanding e-commerce lainnya; The F Thing!

Sejujurnya aku sendiri bukan orang yang percaya membeli produk fashion via online. Berkali-kali kecolongan mulai dari produk tidak sesuai dengan foto, ukuran yang tidak pas, sampai product defect (bolong, menyusut, tidak lengkap) sudah aku alami. 

Aku sendiri memutuskan buat cobain The F Thing karena brand yang ditawarkan pun pas dengan selera dan kebutuhan aku, kemudian brand-brandnya pun semua berkarakter dan trendy. Salah satu brand lokal yang aku suka seperti CALLA pun ada di sini, yay!

3 Alasan Harus Belanja di The F Thing

Ada 3 alasan lain kenapa aku suka belanja di sini:

30 Days Free Returns – Nah balik lagi ke masalah utama aku kalau belanja item fashion online: suka ada aja gak cocoknya. Di sini kita bisa cobain dan produknya ketika sampai, tapi kalau merasa tidak pas atau tidak cocok, bisa dikembalikan kok! Lebih secure jadinya buat belanja di sini.

Free Voucher – Di The F Thing juga ada free voucher dan discount lho. Siapa sih yang gak suka diskon? Di sini selalu ada promosi menarik, baik hadiah free voucher dan diskon.


Free Shipping – Alasan terakhir tapi paling mumpuni: bebas ongkir! Yayyyy ini bagian paling favorit karena aku tuh paling sensitif sama masalah shipping.

Fitur Favorit

Fitur yang paling aku suka itu Mystery Box!

Mystery Box

Haissh, apakah memang ku suka judi atau gimana, tapi element of surprise itu memang selalu menjadi daya tarik tersendiri buat aku. Anaknya ga kuat kalo ditawarin Mystery Box begini!

Kalau e-commerce lain biasanya menawarkan bundle atau package dimana kita udah tau apa isinya, nah, The F Thing menawarkan excitement lebih dengan kita beli box senilai Rpxxx tanpa tau apa produk dan brand di dalamnya!

Mystery Box dibagi menjadi dua: untuk pria dan wanita.

Variasi kategori dan produk di dalamnya juga cukup banyak. Tidak hanya pakaian, tas, dan sepatu, di sini juga bisa belanja kosmetik, hehehe… Racun banget deh ini e-commerce. 😝

Pengalaman Belanja

Waktu browsing, aku memang lagi cari ransel mini gitu buat sehari-hari. Soalnya setelah diudak-udak, aku ga punya ransel kecil, semuanya gedeeee…

Akhirnya pilihan aku jatuh pada Herschel Nova Mini! Hehe, setelah konsul sana-sini buat pilih warna yang pas, akhirnya langsung add to cart si mini Faded Denim ini.

Selain itu aku pun cobain buat beli Mystery Box, tapi yang aku beli FOR GENTS, sekalian belanja buat pacar, hehehe..

Before bigger damage is coming, aku langsung checkout dan bayar, hahaha! Oiya, kamu juga bisa masukin kode voucher buat dapetin potongan harga yah.. Untuk pembayaran pun gampang banget, hampir semua metode pembayaran bisa digunakan di sini baik transfer bank, kartu kredit, sampaig GoPay.

Nah, bukan cuma e-commerce, The F Thing juga punya online magazine yang jadi media platform buat referensi berbelanja, tips, interview, dan semua update terkini seputar fashion dan lifestyle di letterf.id.

Jadi The F Thing memang jadi one stop solution buat berbelanja dan referensi fashion. Yang lebih menarik lagi, The F Thing tuh lagi ngerayain 2nd Anniversary #TheFThingTurns2 lho! Ada giveaway dengan grand prize 2 buah motor Genio untuk 2 top spender selama bulan September.

See Fashion Week Online for Free

by Lina Clémence July 22, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


 

 

Once upon a time, fashion week was restricted to a chosen few.

Initially, they were just for fashion designers’ best customers. Then the press was allowed in. Later, store buyers were granted access. For more than a century, it was invitation-only.

Today, attending fashion week in person still requires an often hard-to-come-by invitation, but thanks to the internet, you can catch the latest collections online any time – if you know where to look.

This post will show you 23 sites where you can see everything for free.

The “Big Four” Fashion Weeks

Let’s start with the basics.

While there are fashion weeks all over the world all the time, the four that get the most attention – and that turn fashion week into fashion month – are New York, London, Milan, and Paris, in that order.

These are the designers’ ready-to-wear collections, the clothes that you can buy online or in stores next season. They occur twice a year, in February and September.

Here’s where you can find the “Big Four” fashion week schedules:

New York Fashion Week

London Fashion Week

Milan Fashion Week

Paris Fashion Week

Haute Couture Fashion Shows

Haute coutureHaute couture collections are only shown in Paris every January and July. These are the clothes designers custom make for you in their ateliers, many of them works of art…with a price tag to match. Couture clothes require custom fittings, and garments can take anywhere from a few days to a few months to make, depending on the level of detail required.

You can learn more about haute couture shows here:

Haute Couture Fashion Shows

 

See Every Fashion Week Look

So where can you see all the shows in one place?

There are just a few sites that cover every look.

For just as it costs a fortune for designers to stage a fashion show, so too does it cost publishers a bundle to pay reporters and photographers to go to every show and record every look.

The upside of seeing every look is that you can discover new designers you never heard of before.

The downside is that with dozens of designers showing dozens of looks each show, it will take you hours to go through all of the pictures. But you’ll get a VERY clear idea of what each design house is all about so you can find the ones that suit your personal style best.

Here’s where to look:

Vogue Runway

Vogue Runway 2023Vogue Runway has the largest archive of fashion show images on the web.

You can see a thumbnail look from each designer for free, but if you want to see the entire collection, you’ll need a Vogue digital subscription ($1 per month). 

Which is absolutely worth it as it allows you to search in a variety of ways, including by city, season, or designer.

They also cover couture, resort, bridal, and menswear, so you can find everything all in one place.

Another cool feature? 

Limited coverage dating back to the early 1990s.  So if you want to revisit Naomi, Cindy, and Linda working the catwalk “back in the day,” Vogue Runway‘s got you covered.

 

Women’s Wear Daily

Nardos Spring 2024 Women’s Wear Daily has fashion week collections available online for free.

You can see the designers and click through each collection, but if you want the commentary, inside dish, and related articles, you’ll need a paid subscription.

One neat feature they offer is closeups. If you want to see a particular garment detail, just hover over the picture to get a closer look.

A must-see if you’re into details.

 

Watch the Fashion Shows

FF ChannelFF Channel

The best collection of runway show videos available online.

Click the Playlist tab to see the various seasons, including Ready-to-Wear, Haute Couture, Menswear, Bridal, and more.

 

 

Watch Your Favorite Designers

You can also catch your favorite designers’ shows on their individual websites, YouTube channels, or Facebook pages. Not every designer has these, but many do.

Since it can be a little tedious to go from site to site, be sure to follow your favorites on social media and sign up for their email alerts to make it easier to keep up with what’s happening.

For example:

Get Fashion Week Roundups

Want fashion week updates but don’t need to see every look?

Then visit popular fashion magazine sites for a roundup of the best looks and emerging trends. These aren’t updated as frequently as the sites listed above, but they will give you a good summary of the shows.

Instyle Fashion Week Roundup

Check out:

Elle

Harper’s Bazaar

Instyle

Marie Claire

The Cut

 

 

See Street Style

Part of the fun of fashion week is seeing what attendees wear to shows.

These sites have you covered:

Style du Monde NYFWThe Sartorialist

The original street style blog is still going strong. Scott Schuman travels the world, recording what people wear – including at fashion week. Gorgeous photos.

Style Du Monde

Started by a female Belgium photographer named Acielle in 2008, Style Du Monde (French for “world style”) brings you amazing street style and behind-the-scenes shots you won’t find anywhere else.

Vogue Street Style

Vogue‘s street style blog gives you a roundup of the best fashion week street style looks from around the globe. Some of these looks should be on the runway, IMO.

The TrendSpotter

Roundups of the best street style of every fashion week.

 

Shop The Looks

So now that you’ve seen the shows and know the trends, how can you buy your favorite looks?

Lots of different ways, many from the comfort of your own home.

If you can pre-order a piece, do so to make sure you get it. Popular pieces don’t last long.

Here’s where to shop online:

1. Individual Designer Websites

Most big-name designers have their own online stores on their websites, so you can shop directly from them.  Look for a shopping cart or bag in the upper right-hand corner of the screen on sites like:

Ralph Lauren StoreBurberry

Chanel

Dior

Dolce & Gabbana

Michael Kors

Prada

Ralph Lauren

Victoria Beckham

Since runway pieces may not be immediately available after the show (it can take months), sign up for email notifications and/or any reward programs they have so you can earn bonus points, get free shipping, and get an early-access notification when the new season becomes available.

 

2. Luxury Clothing Sites

Want to shop a variety of designers all in one place without going from website to website?  You can do so at places like:

Moda Operandi

Buy or pre-order the looks you saw during fashion week by clicking the “Trunkshow” link in the menu.

Moda Operandi

FarFetch

Buy runway looks at they become available by clicking on New In > What’s New.

Matches Fashion

Buy runway looks as they become available by clicking on Just In > Runway.

My Theresa

Buy runway looks as they become available by clicking on New Arrivals > Runway Edit

Net-a-Porter

Buy runway looks as they become available by clicking on What’s New > Runway.

 

3. Luxury Department Stores

Some designers only sell through their boutiques and luxury department stores, so you’ll need to hit up one or the other in order to buy their stuff. You can visit the department store in person if you have one nearby, or you can shop online. Some of the best include:

Bergdorf Goodman

Order or pre-order your favorite looks by clicking on What’s New > New Season.

Bergdorf Goodman

Neiman Marcus

Order or pre-order runway looks by going to Women’s Clothing > New & Now > Current Season.

Nordstrom

Order runway looks as they become available by going to Designer Collections > Current Season

Selfridge & Co

Buy runway looks as they become available by going to Women > New Season.

 

Why You Should Follow Fashion Week Coverage

Now you may read this and think that you would never buy runway fashion, that you would never spend that much money on clothes, so there’s no reason to follow fashion week.

Hey, I get it.  Some of those clothes are ridiculously expensive.

But believe it or not, fashion week isn’t just about the clothes or even the designers.

It’s about keeping abreast of what’s happening in fashion.

Why is that important?

Because wearing outdated fashion is a lot like driving an outdated car or using outdated technology: it marks you as behind the times and maybe too broke to afford anything newer.  This may very well be the case, depending on your situation, but probably not the impression you want to make – particularly if you interact with high-income clients.

So am I saying you should go into debt to follow fashion?

NO!

I’m saying that you should keep an eye on trends and replicate the ones you like at a price point you can afford.

Or, stick with classic styles in classic color combinations and just update your hair and makeup each season.  It’s an easy way to look current without spending a fortune.

So what’s the bottom line?

Following fashion week is an easy way to keep abreast of what’s happening in style, whether you buy runway clothes or approximate them at a lower price point.  Your goal is to look current and turn heads so you can get the attention, respect, and income you deserve.

Our Guide To Ibiza – Fashion Mumblr

by Lina Clémence July 17, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


Ibiza will always have a piece of my heart. It’s where slow mornings, sun-soaked afternoons, and late dinners flow into each other without effort. Here’s our go-to guide – the spots we love, the places we always come back to, and the little moments that make the island magic.

I’d recommend booking all of the below well in advance. As soon as you book your holiday, book the beach clubs and restaurants.

Juntos House

This is our absolute favourite restaurant in Ibiza; a hidden courtyard restaurant serving exceptionally creative and delicious local, seasonal veggie dishes, alongside perfect cuts of meat and fish too. If you love farm to fork dining, this is the best in Ibiza, and still so under-the-radar. Be sure to visit Juntos Farm nearby too, to see where the ingredients are grown, and grab some treats from their farm shop.

La Paloma

This is a very popular spot, with lots of tables nestled within the gardens of a traditional old Finca. Daily specials are presented to you on a giant chalk board; choose from their famous flatbreads, exceptionally prepared fresh seasonal veggie dishes cooked to perfection, and be prepared to share! Ask for a table on the garden terrace, and you’ll need to book a month in advance.

Casa Maca

Casa Maca is famous on the island for exceptional food, great vibes, and an incredible view of the Old Town (this looks extra magical if you visit during a full moon!). You do have to drive through an industrial area on your way in which is slightly odd, but don’t let this put you off! There’s a Huerta (vegetable garden) just to the side of the restaurant (possibly just for show…) and the iconic BBQ grill where meats and veggies are smoked before they arrive on your plate. You MUST order the grilled leek starter (one of my favourite dishes EVER!) and the corn dessert is unusual but really scrumptious too. Be prepared – it’s not cheap here, and will likely cost double any of your other dinners! It is great for celeb spotting though, we were dining next to Calvin Harris the last time we came.

El Silencio

It’s a beach club, but you won’t have your calm afternoon disrupted by pumping loud music at 3pm here – it’s a chilled one (the clue is in the name)! With waiter service at your beach beds, and the loveliest tranquil location, beds here are €40 each (July 2025) which is WAY more affordable than most other beach clubs. Plus the vibes are exceptional if you like a relaxing but want a luxurious afternoon on the beach. The food is wonderful at the restaurant; I thoroughly recommend the Gazpacho and be sure not to miss out on the SENSATIONAL churros at the end!

Atzaró Hotel

We always stay at Atzaró. Beautiful, calm, exceptional food, and in traditional Ibiza finca style. If you appreciate beautiful aesthetics, you’ll fall in love with the charm of this family run hotel. The location is flawless; in the calm and more luxurious north of the island, you’re a short drive from all of the best beaches and restaurants.

TIP: Mention Josie and Charlie upon booking here or at their beach club and you’ll get a treat in your room or on your table!

Aubergine by Atzaró

Owned by the Atzaró group, with most of their veggies coming from the organic Atzaró vegetable garden, your table is tucked away in a lovely garden spot, and you’ll enjoy delicious dishes prepared with an Israeli twist (thanks to Ottolenghi spending time with the chef here). Think pistachio and spices on your aubergine salad and perfectly cooked barbecue meat ~ this is not one to miss!

Beach day at Es Figueral

A local beach with sunbeds and parasols that are actually affordable, it’s a pebbly beach so don’t forget your water shoes, and it’s shallow enough to paddle with children – so a lovely safe place to spend the day. Book lunch at NUDO which is positioned right on the beach; top quality fresh dishes, lots of seafood, and their homemade pasta is 10/10.

Es Fumeral

Located on the popular Cala Nova, Es Fumeral serves elevated vegetable and seafood dishes, as well as seriously delicious chicken croquettas (my favourite!). It’s a beautiful restaurant, with incredible views – and you could pop to the very photogenic Aiyanna for coffee afterwards too.

A day at Atzaró Hotel

You can book a pool cabana at our favourite hotel in Ibiza even if you’re not staying here; come for a day to enjoy the most photogenic and beautiful hotel on the island, and have your jamon, poke bowl (it’s SO good!) or fresh salad delivered straight to your cabana. Your cabana will either be poolside, or a few steps away in their beautiful herb garden. Explore a little further and you’ll find the cold plunge and sauna tucked away behind the rosemary beds!

Atzaró Beach Club

Comfortable big beach beds located on Cala Nova, and a seriously beautiful restaurant above the rocky cove that serves sensational paella, patatas bravas, jamon, and all of your other Spanish favourites. The beach here is great for swimming and paddling, but it gets super busy, so you’ll be grateful that the Atzaró beach beds are just 30 seconds walk across the track away from all the madness!

Bump Biddy Is Here To Deliver Size Inclusive, Trendy Fashion For Expec – Curvy Sense

by Lina Clémence July 16, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


She’s here! She’s here! Our sister company, BumpBiddy.com has officially launched and we’re so excited!


via GIPHY

So, what is Bump Biddy?

Bump Biddy is a collection of glam apparel, designed to make any mama, any size, feel fabulous and confident! We noticed that the maternity market was lacking, both with cute trendy styles, and plus size options. As we’ve grown and have been looking for our next steps, this seemed like an undertaking we could handle, and be proud of. 

What sets Bump Biddy apart?

If you didn’t know, we at Curvy Sense make most of our clothes in house, here in Los Angeles, in order to ensure fit and quality. With that capability we’ve been able to do the same with Bump Biddy. Our designer is a loving mommy of two, and with her at the lead we make 96% of the styles in house, that way we can make sure everything’s perfect! It also allows us to keep our prices super low, which we know every mom, and mom-to-be, can appreciate.

 

via GIPHY

Now you can save for baby AND look fabulous! You can shop styles ranging from casual, to sexier date night looks, and some great baby shower options:

The Nikki Floral Print Tank Dress is super soft and can be paired with some sandals, and make a perfect casual, every day dress, or toss on some heels and rock it at your next summer bash!

Slip in to the Melanie Lace Bodycon Dress, take advantage of that glow you got goin’ on, and remind bae exactly how that bun got in your oven. 😏

Looking for a dress to wear to your baby shower? We recommend this simple, yet chic, and oh-so comfy Candice Ribbed Dress!

But, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Take a look at more on BumpBiddy.com and tell an expecting friend!

How to Successfully and Stylishly Shop Secondhand — FASHION me GREEN

by Lina Clémence July 15, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


Shopping secondhand is the most sustainable way you can shop. Simply put, buying something that already exists and giving it a second lifecycle (or third or fourth!) is far more sustainable than even producing a new piece using eco methods.

I love to shop this way because you find more unique and often very high quality goods at a fraction of the cost and you know you’re doing your part to help the environment too. It’s a win win! Check out this week’s video where I pull pieces from one of my favorite secondhand shops, WomenFolk in Jackson, WY. And, as always, I’d love t hear how you’re shopping sustainably too, and if you have any secondhand stores or sites you can recommend to the community. xx

PS: Here are some links to the eco outerwear I shared at the beginning of the video. 😉

Thrift Styling Hacks – Fashion Hound

by Lina Clémence July 14, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


Just because a garment is meant to have a traditional function, why does that mean it has to stay that way!?

One of fave thrift restyling tricks ♻️ is to 

PLAY WITH DIFFERENT GENRES  

By that I mean:

Sportswear meets sleepwear

Streetwear meets suiting

Day meets night 

@fayedelanty One of fave thrift restyling tricks ????????♻️ Play wirh different genres Sportswear meets sleepwear Streetwear meets suiting I thubk the contrast of things that traditionally arejt meant to go together, going together is really cool #opshopulence #thriftstorestylist #designerinspo ♬ original sound – Faye De Lanty-Thrift Ninja

I think the contrast of things that traditionally aren’t meant to go together, going together is really cool. To add to that, try playing with the proportions of those contrasting garments, as i did in this video by layering a sleepwear piece over a sportswear singlet I also tried the sports singlet backwards to create a T-Bar effect – in my opinion this brings some really interesting unexpected details to an outfit. 

 

 

@fayedelanty #elevatetheeveryday ???? ACCESSORIES #opshopulence #broochesareback #vintagebelts #sunglassesstyles #curatedwardrobe #thriftstorestylist ♬ original sound – Faye De Lanty-Thrift Ninja

ELEVATE THE EVERYDAY

No matter your size, shape or gender, accessories are a game changer for classic thrifted pieces. Try brooches  on jacket labels, add a statement pair of shades or bring some Big Buckle Energy. How amazing is the vintage bamboo one I found for $20 – she’s giving serious Gucci vibes.

 

TRY A DRESS AS A TOP 

A simple snip or tuck can completely transform a mini dress that doesn’t quite fit or isn’t your style. I absolutely loved the sleeves on this piece and for the bargain price of $10 on the discount rack I couldn’t resist – a thrifty take on Alexander McQueen me thinks. Check it out in this instagram post.

Cid Style File: DIY Fashion

by Lina Clémence July 12, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


I’m a little late with this post, but this time I have a really good excuse!  Started working again this week after almost 6 months of unemployment. Thank you sweet baby Jesus. So yeah, those super early wake up calls, morning/evening commutes and getting use to a new routine has me a bit out of sort this week. I am so grateful to be working again, but I just can’t stay up late working on the blog and then get up super early like I use to! Those days are gone, ah Fab 40’s you making me look like an old lady….LOL Any how this month theme chosen by Diane is DIY!  I have wanted to do DIY on the blog for years. So many ideas swirling in my brain, I even have a box of stuff I bought for my DIY fashion post.  Nope, never happened so kinda glad the Fab 40’s crew had this challenge for this month. I am still planning on doing a denim patch DIY, so lets cross our fingers it gets done this summer.

Since I am the queen of procrastination, this was my on the fly, done in an hour DIY!  I had a cool denim DIY idea in mind, but was missing a few pieces.  Since I am not one to quit or give up easily, I dug into the closet and found this big boxy camo tee the BF bought me.  I mentioned once I wanted a cool camo tee, yeah this was not it.  No worries DIY to the rescue.  The whole choker trend has been translated into t-shirts and I wanted to buy one any way, so why not just make my own. Viola!  Cool, camo, choker t-shirt coming right up! 

Originally I was only going to do the choker part, but it was still missing something. I wanted the tee to look a little more feminine and sexy. A few more snips to the sleeves to make it a cold shoulder top.  Yet something still seemed not quite right, well with scissors in hand, a few more snips turned into a bows at the sleeves. Now it was just right! I may do another choker tee and add some distressing.  I will definitely take more pics and even do a tutorial on my next DIY….promise!

Outfit Details
DIY Camo T-shirt – Unbranded
Faux Leather Leggings – Old Navy
Suede Booties – Melrose & Market
Sunnies – Burberry

Here are the ladies of The Fab 40’s with their DIY looks

Totally love Ann’s DIY denim jacket. Can’t wait to make my own.
Diane also use a denim jacket, but went with tie-dye for her DIY. 
Jennie, Miss little over-achiever made 2 DIY items. She made the top and customized her jeans. 2 thumbs up from me! 

Mary from Curlybyrdie Chirps 

I am in love with Mary’s jeans, they are too cool. I wonder if she will make me a pair….LOL 
Tracey is our guest blogger this month, from The Naughty Forty Diaries. She went with a simple, yet very cute patch tee. Also she added some cold shoulder details, like me!  Great minds, thats all I’m gonna say. 

Have you done any DIY fashion?

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy these Fab 40’s monthly post. Its always fun to collaborate with other awesome bloggers. Make sure you show all my Fab 40’s buddies some love and check out their blogs.  Which DIY was your fave? I loved them and want to do more.

21 Best Slow Fashion Brands With Serious Style

by Lina Clémence July 11, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


It’s time to leave fast fashion in the dust — with one-of-a-kind designs, quality fabrics, and the assurance your dollars are supporting a more responsible fashion industry, these slow fashion brands are sure to win you over.

Before we go any further, though, I think we need to clarify what exactly slow fashion is…

What Do We Mean By “Slow Fashion?”

Slow fashion is about being more mindful and thoughtful about how clothing (and other fashion items) are being produced, how they’re being purchased, and how they’re being used/worn.

Instead of mass-producing garments cheaply and quickly, slow fashion production is about creating a piece to last by using high-quality materials, transitional designs (i.e. not super “trendy”), and durable construction.

For individuals, slow fashion purchasing habits means buying less, but better. A slow fashion mindset is all about choosing well — it’s about picking well-made items that are built to last and also selecting pieces that fit your lifestyle and body well, to ensure they’ll not only be durable but will actually be useful for years to come.

Adopting slow fashion in your life, though, doesn’t necessarily have to mean spending money — this concept is also about slowing down to appreciate your clothes and closet. Slow fashion can mean wearing what you have as much as possible, mending and repairing worn clothing, or upcycling and DIY-ing.

Slow Fashion vs. Eco-Fashion vs. Ethical Fashion

While slow fashion is a term that’s often used quite generally, it’s important to note that some larger ‘green’ fashion brands use mass-production models to create their organic or recycled clothing to increase output and reduce costs.

Slow fashion companies to me — and the criteria used to select brands for this guide — are brands that produce in smaller batches, make most of their pieces by hand, craft each piece with attention to detail and quality, and ideally, partner with skilled artisans, sewers, and craftspeople (who are of course fairly paid).

Now without further ado, here are our picks for…

The Best Slow Fashion Brands

To be clear: you do not need to purchase from slow fashion brands to participate in slow fashion. However, when the time comes that you want to add a new piece to your wardrobe, you probably want your dollars to go towards supporting responsible brands that are doing things better; that are producing with quality and intention.

You want to invest in pieces for the long-haul — and pieces that have a positive impact. And these slow fashion brands will help you do just that.

Note that this article features affiliates and partners. As always, we only feature brands that meet high standards for sustainability that we love — and that we think you’ll love too!

Yes, You Can Wear Socks with Crocs—And Make It Fashion

Amy wearing a purple velour jumpsuit, eating an acai bowl, and wearing rainbow Crocs.

Let’s settle this once and for all: socks with Crocs? It’s not just okay—it’s a whole vibe. What used to be a fashion faux pas is now a street style staple, and Socks with Crocs from FLAT SOCKS is here to take the look to the next level while providing comfort. Whether you’re heading to brunch, running errands, or just vibing at home, there’s a stylish way to rock Crocs that feels as good as it looks.

Comfort Meets Style

Crocs have come a long way from being your go-to “ugly cute” shoes. With endless colors, charms, and collabs (hello, Barbiecore pink and camo classics), they’re the ultimate canvas for personal expression. And when you pair them with FLAT SOCKS—the no-show sock alternative that gives your shoes a barefoot feel—you’ve officially entered comfort-chic territory.

Why FLAT SOCKS Are the Best Socks for Crocs

Let’s be real: regular socks and Crocs don’t always play nicely. They bunch up, slide around, or peek out in all the wrong places. FLAT SOCKS solve that problem. Think of them like insoles, but softer, comfier, and way cuter. They sit flat inside your shoe, give you a layer of cozy cushioning, and stay in place with a grippy bottom—no slipping, no bunching, no blisters.

Style It Your Way

Whether you’re keeping it minimalist or bold AF, FLAT SOCKS has a pair to match your vibe.

Monochrome Magic

Rocking classic black or white out-white Crocs? Keep it sleek with FLAT SOCKS in black, white or heather gray for a seamless, low-key look.

Barbiecore Realness

Match your pink clogs with a pair of pink FLAT SOCKS and live your best dreamhouse life.

Print Party

Add some flair with peachy rose, rainbow, or leopard print socks that show off your fun side (even if no one sees them).

For Your Kiddos—and Your Inner Child, Too

Whether you’re shopping for the kids in your life or reconnecting with your own inner child, FLAT SOCKS for Kids bring the fun. With playful prints like dinosaurs, rocket ships, and rainbows, they’re a sweet reminder that style should be joyful. Pair them with your Crocs charms and let your feet do the smiling.

Socks or No Socks? Why Not Both?

The debate over wearing socks with Crocs ends here. FLAT SOCKS let you enjoy the comfort of going barefoot with the added bonus of a stylish layer between your feet and your shoes. It’s the best of both worlds—no sweat, no stink, no fuss.


TL;DR: The Chief of Style’s Crocs Tip

Wearing socks with Crocs isn’t just acceptable—it’s iconic. Elevate your Croc game with FLAT SOCKS and turn a cozy comfort look into a confident style statement.


Shop the full collection at flatsocks.com and step up your Crocs look—literally.
