Belgian fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg once said, "style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it". And while that may be true, others have taken this notion to quite an extreme.

This is the case for one fashion-inspired person who has headed online to display their newly bought sandals of choice – keyboard sandals, which no doubt had followers on Twitter wondering what in the Ctrl+Alt+Del they were seeing.

In related news, Briefly News previously reported that a cop in shorts is serving the heat on social media, and it is all for good reason, too, as spring takes off in Mzansi.

While the men and women in blue have a pledge to serve and protect, one decidedly went the extra mile as he offered up some eye candy for Mzansi's fashion police.

Taking to Twitter, a user @Katlie_Moo shared a series of snaps of a constable in the SAPS ranks spreading the summer feels, thanks to the tight-fitting shorts he is wearing.

The caption read:

"Mohale was found shaking."

The police officer is shown in full police uniform, complete with a service weapon conspicuously strapped to his right thigh. The tweet attracted nearly 850 likes and close to 300 retweets.
