Fall isn’t too far off, but there are some things I simply can't even think about wearing right now — or for the next few weeks, really. It’s been unbelievably hot on the East Coast, so much so that I’d much rather be living in my swimwear. But alas, that's not always possible, so I’ve been putting on the lightest, breeziest pieces I own: lots of linen, many dresses, shorter hemlines — you get the drill. So, given my current dressing mentality, it’s no surprise that I broke a sweat when I saw what Jennifer Lopez was recently wearing.

J.Lo really wears what she wants, when she wants — and sometimes, that means wearing fuzzy slippers while out in Los Angeles on a super hot summer day. The singer went for an all-white look — a smart summer choice as the crisp hue reflects sunlight, in turn keeping you cool. Her loose cargo pants hit on the utilitarian trend that’s certainly not going anywhere, pairing the big bottoms with a cropped zip-up, proving the big pants, small top energy is still going strong, too.

But the winning outfit detail was none other than those shearling Gucci slides that effortlessly rounded out her cozy, errand-running ‘fit. Normally, I’m all for wearing slippers in public. In fact, many brands have been making indoor-outdoor versions you can take from couch to cocktails with ease (and I love that!). But the fact that the temperature was probably in the high 80s while Lopez was wearing them is something I simply cannot fathom.

It’s okay, though, because in the world of fashion, we’re always a few months ahead, so it seems right to start thinking about cozy, fall fashion. Plus, it’s never too soon to start prepping your wardrobe for the chilly season (I can’t believe I just said that, but hey, we are officially in August).

Slippers are just as much an outdoor must as they are an indoor one, and Lopez is making a strong case for wearing the house shoe on the street. After all, a key fashion desire is to stay cozy, even when you’re forced to leave your house, so why wouldn’t you wear the epitome of comfy (aka, slippers)? Smart move, J.Lo! Plus, shearling looks stylish, so wear it with jeans, dresses, shorts, and skirts.

Cozy feet, happy you. Shop some more shearling slippers inspired by Lopez’s designer pair below, including some discounted options from Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale.
