Runway Highlights: Top Row - Christian Dior, Burberry Prorsum, Hermès; Bottom Row - Jean Paul Gaultier, Givenchy, Rochas
Wait...socks worn with sandals is the world's worst fashion faux pas, right? Not this spring! As proven by several designers in their collections, this combination can look very chic if paired together thoughtfully and with confidence.
Whether you are dying to show off bright floral, ruffled anklet, or simple thigh-high socks, there is a sandal out there that can transform faux pas into runway worthy. Options include pairing some fun, retro pumps with rosey ankle socks or throwing on some soft, knee-high fishnets with your favorite bright t-strap sandals. You can even look a little 90s with some lacey-trimmed anklet socks paired with cute flats. Whatever combination you choose, remaining true to your own sense of style will decrease the possibility of feeling tacky. Avoid mixing printed socks with printed sandals and choose colors that complement each other. Even though you can wear socks with sandals this season, remember to do so tastefully!
Be confident in your choices as I am in mine:
1) Rosey Socks - $11.99 - Mod Cloth and White Sandals with Heel - $41 - Starlet Vintage; 2) Frilly Ankle Socks in Hunter Green - $6 - Topshop and Basketweave Wedges - $22.80 - Forever 21; 3) Red Anklet Socks with Lacey Trim - $4.50 - The Sock Boutique and White Flat Sandals - $22 - 23stien; 4) Gray Thigh High Socks - $13.99 - Mod Cloth and Brown Vintage Sandals - $12 - The Wooden Spool; 5) Fishnet Knee Highs - $6 - We Love Colors and T-Strap Heeled Sandals - $186.39 - ASOS; 6) Sheer Ankle Socks in Yellow - $8 - Free People and Gray Sandal Pumps - $26.80 - Forever 21
Now get out there and wear those socks with sandals!
