The Best Pilates Grip Socks in the History of the World

The Best Pilates Grip Socks in the History of the World Like, seriously. And normally I wouldn’t make an entire video about socks, but given the fact that my background is Pilates… grip socks are kinda my jam. And I will not stand for thin, floppy grip socks. SO, over the past year I have been working on the ultimate, cushiest, most luxurious grip sock you have ever seen.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates)  The Best Pilates Grip Sock Not all are created equal BECAUSE when you wear a flimsy sock like the one in the video, it’s just going to slide around on your foot and you’re going to slide all over the place. Look at the difference. SHOP STUDIO GRIP SOCKS Liiiiike. You see the thickness right?! I also added an extra ribbed band to help keep the sock in place. Even the grip is thick and they’re little hearts! So cute. My new Popflex Studio Grip Socks are literally the best Pilates grip socks in the history of the world. EVER. I promise you that. They come in 2 sizes: 5-7 and 7.5-11 and in 3 colors! Like, seriously. And normally I wouldn’t make an entire video about socks, but given the fact that my background is Pilates… grip socks are kinda my jam. And I will… Cassey{authorlink}https://www.blogilates.com/blog/best-pilates-grip-socks/Blogilates The official blog of Cassey Ho https://i0.wp.com/www.blogilates.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/fav-1.png?fit=32%2C32&ssl=1

Everyone’s sharing their wins, so here are my recent flops

Everyone’s sharing their wins, so here are my recent flops Hey guys! Everyone’s sharing their wins sooo… let’s talk flops. I’d like to believe that these things happen in order to redirect me. This made me think deeply about what defines the Popflex brand and who our customer really is. Unfortunately I’ve always been and still am very critical of myself. A simple question was asked that triggered a sadness deep within me and I couldn’t hold back my tears. I hate that I cried but I think I hate more that I felt ashamed of it afterwards. I don’t like being told what I can or can’t do. But the truth is, the limit has to exist in order for this business to exist. Just reaching a “sweet spot” where we’re not small enough that no one cares and not big enough that everyone’s scared. Ugh. I can’t even begin to explain how low I felt after this. All I wanted was to genuinely connect with people who understood what I was going through. Growing a business can feel really lonely and depleting already but as a super empath, sometimes the feeling is unbearable. I wanted community. Friends even. When I got the rejection email, it felt like someone was breaking up with me without giving a reason why. Was I not good enough? Did I do something wrong? Please someone tell me something. But no, they wouldn’t tell me anything. It made me feel like I wasn’t worthy of being in their presence, like it was high school all over again and they saw me as some wannabe trying to join their popular group. I hate that a part of me is still very damaged over this. But I’ll get over it. It’s just gonna take time. Let’s be real. Wasting food is the biggest flop of all.   Hey guys! Everyone’s sharing their wins sooo… let’s talk flops. I’d like to believe that these things happen in order to redirect me.

Guess what’s back?!

Guess what’s back?! Did we finally hit the crop top limit? After years of tops getting shorter while pants get higher, there is simply nowhere higher for our tops to go. SO I’m calling it now: Tank tops are back.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) The history of the tank Did you know the tank top originally started as a swimming tank for women in the early 1900s? It didn’t become a shirt you actually wear outside, not just as an undershirt, until the 1950s! Then, the 90s brought a massive wave of minimalism and a huuuge tank top upgrade. Annnd who here remembers tank over tank over tank of the 2000s. Yeah, tank tops just kept getting longer and we wore them with super low-rise jeans, until the 2010s when we started doing the total opposite. We went from peplums to crops. All of this to say… the fashion pendulum is constantly swinging, and in 2026 the tank top is finally back back! The Popflex Twisty Top GO WITH THE FLOW TWISTY TOP I’ve been fighting for my life for sooo long to design a tank top that looks cool. I loved the asymmetrical, Greek Goddess vibe, so I decided to take that and… Popflexify it. I’m wearing the Popflex Twisty Top and I’m not saying this top is revolutionary but omg it makes my life sooo much easier! It has a built-in bra, and it would have been a whooole thing without one. And obvi I love the off the shoulder moment. I love the look of this with jeans orrr with matching Go With the Flow Pants if you love a set like I do! Ok so what do you think? Are you here for the return of tank tops? Did we finally hit the crop top limit? After years of tops getting shorter while pants get higher, there is simply nowhere higher for our tops to go.

Sooo are we gauchoing?

Sooo are we gauchoing? This is a serious and very controversial topic, but we gotta talk about it. It began with hauntings from my past, all over the internet. I tried to ignore and hoped it would never get to this point. But it’s getting out of control, so I must ask… have you seen WIDE-LEGGED CAPRIS starting to trend?! Um. Gauchos. Those are gauchos.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) I used to wear gauchos in high school or college (not sure because I blocked that out) but omg the way they would trunkate my leg. No no nooo it was so bad but I had no idea until we were out of the trend and I looked back at pics. Literally a stump. And now the 2000s are here and they brought gauchos back sooo I tested a new prototype JUST IN CASE. Not saying I’m fully on board, just wanna be prepared. So please tell me. Are we doing this?! Are we gauchoing? If yes, do you like the right side or the left side better?  This is a serious and very controversial topic, but we gotta talk about it.

A perfectionist never rests

A perfectionist never rests An unfortunate truth for me, but a fortunate truth for you. The Popflex Super Slit Short is my favorite short ever because it’s so light and comfy, but also a little edgy. However… there was one tiny thing that I needed to fix. Like soooo tiny.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) MY FAVE RUNNING SHORT Soo what did I change? It wasn’t the stretchy V waistband, the lightweight fabric, or the super soft and weightless built-in panty. Think smaller. Everything is pretty much the same EXCEPT there is a bartack now that keeps your slit from opening too far up the leg. Now it slits just to the right level! Although it seems like you guys didn’t have a problem with that anyway… Sometimes I just need to do these things to be satisfied with what I do. The life of a perfectionist. The Super Slit Short 2.0 SHOP SUPER SLIT SHORT Anyway, the Super Slit Short was already my fave and now I love it even more! I’m in size S and I’m 5’5”. What do you think?!

V4 Of My Swim Romper Is Here

V4 Of My Swim Romper Is Here V4 of my swim romper is here and it’s the best one, hands down. The Popflex Riptide Romper My original swim romper design was inspired by the 30s to 50s because that’s when swimwear with more coverage was actually done WELL. So many of the more modern designs with more coverage are just soooo unflattering for the female body. So back to vintage swimwear we went! My version was originally a high-neck halter with a low back (and pockets duh). In the second iteration, I lowered the neckline, swapped the halter for two adjustable spaghetti straps, and added the adjustable crisscross back. The third iteration had a very small change that made a huge impact. I added soft boning to the back opening for more structure when you cinched yourself in. And now… the fourth iteration.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) SHOP RIPTIDE ROMPER I heard your feedback. You’re sick and tired of the square neckline, spaghetti straps are too thin, and you want more support but still want it to look dainty. I think you’re gonna looooove the 2026 version of the Riptide Romper. I ditched the square neckline for a sweet V, added a double spaghetti strap that loops over into that crisscross on the back (adjustable! More support!), annnnnd I traded in the gold end caps on the straps for gold ocean-inspired charms! The pockets are here to stay obvi. SHOP RIPTIDE ROMPER I’m wearing size XS (one size down from my normal small bc I wanted it cheekier and I wanted a lower neckline), but it’s true to size so you do not need to do that esp if you’re looking for coverage!   V4 of my swim romper is here and it’s the best one, hands down.
