The Do’s And Don’ts Of Socks With Sandals
Once a universally acknowledged style disaster, the socks-with-sandals look is experiencing a curious (if surprisingly rather chic) resurgence. Stylists at Alexander Wang, Derek Lam, and Prada (above, left to right) all showed peep-toe and strappy sandals with high socks. (At the Spring men's shows, a few labels, like Bottega Veneta, even experimented with the pairing for dudes.)
As Gawker points out, M.I.A. tried the look out at her Letterman appearance in New York this week-she even put her phalanx of look-alike backup dancers in identical sandal-and-sock combos. Her look is a perfect occasion for a styling public service announcement: If you're going to brave the trend, please, please don't do it with sweat socks.
