We are gathering trends from our nanas, so it seems. A few days ago, I stumbled across a moral dilemma reading a magazine... these beautiful models are being photographed in couture made by Marc Jacob, Armani, Prada... but none the less strutting in socks and sandals down the runway! Something just doesn't seem right? oh that's right, it's the black dress socks that are being worn with white stilettos with the Armani Prive Mini Dress. Not only do the socks appear to be for winter or for men, they have feathers and random pieces hanging from them. Sexy or Outrageous? Is fashion crossing the line where we feel the need to look to our grannies for style? Now, I'm not bashing our grannies' style but I never liked men wearing socks and Birkenstocks to begin with. We are basically promoting laziness to groom our feet... If you don't have a pedicure... that's OK, slip on a pair socks with your open-toed pumps and head to the ball!
Hopefully this trend does not continue to the winter. Next ,Christmas socks will have to match the ugly christmas sweaters, then we're all doomed. Will they start making snow repellant socks?? those poor die hard fashionistas. Ok. I'll stop, but COME on. I'll leave you with this thought...If it's hot enough for sandals, it's too hot to wear socks. If it's cold enough to wear socks, it's too cold for sandals. This is just my opinion, of course.
Ladies, Would you wear your socks in sandals?
Men, do you find the trend attractive?
