Can I convince you to wear socks and sandals?
2010.08.18
According to the fashion bible, thou shall not wear socks and sandals. I remember my French teacher in school wearing the classic socks and sandals combo and looking particularly tragic – but recently there has been a shift in what was once a big fashion no-no.
I’m not sure exactly where the trend started (definitely not in my third year French class!), whether it is down to street style bloggers or the runway (socks and sandals where everywhere at the 2010 shows) but now adding a cute little pair of ankle socks to an outfit, makes for a well constructed look. When done right, socks and sandals can downplay an outfit that may be considered too overtly sexual, therefore, making something more suitable for night time, day time appropriate. Skyscrapper open toed heels + socks = daytime wearable.

I’m personally loving these cute little ankle socks from American Apparel.
