How to Wear the Sock Sandal Combo
Intimidated by this one? The sock sandal combo has been a fashion faux pas for decades. Over the last few fall seasons we’ve seen this once style no no, emerge on street style stars across the globe. Like we’ve said too many times before, styling done well is always “IN”. Remember, there are no more style rules. The only thing one has to keep in mind is scale and proportion. Once you have simple styling skills down you can wear anything; even socks with your sandals.
I know what you’re thinking on this one, “nice try, I’m not into it.” To which I say TRY IT ANYWAY! The best way to get started is with something simple like a chucky, black, heeled sandal with a black sock. This is an easy sock sandal combo. This can give the illusion of wearing booties. We all love booties rights? Plus you’ll be the only one wearing this and all your friends will begin to copy you. Of course, you’ll have friends that don’t get it but who cares about them, you’re the trendsetter in the group.
Once you’ve gotten comfortable with black on black sock sandal combos, it’s time to mix colors for a less than sublet vibe. Show off that you’re ready to take your style to the next level. Staying neutral is always a good rule of thumb when you’re trying a style outside your comfort zone. Once you finally feel completely comfortable with being the edgy trendsetter inside of you, go all-in and rock whatever crazy combo you want.
