HOW TO WEAR | SOCKS AND SANDALS

Whenever someone mentions ‘socks and sandals’, it’s hard not to picture a baby-boomer wearing Costco-brand socks and Tevas with an old college-basketball t-shirt and cargo shorts.

But this season, ‘socks and sandals’ have been endorsed by a new crowd. Thanks to fashionistas around the world, the combination is increasingly becoming adopted, especially by those with colourful sock collections. Don’t believe us? Check out these fashionable folks; socks and sandals are paired in order to: a) keep feet warm, and b) contribute a little color/texture to an outfit.

But maybe you don’t own a pair of sequinned socks or $800 Miu Miu pumps to wear them with? Don’t worry; we have you covered. We brought our favourite $3 socks from home to pair with Coup Boutique’s Senso sandals. Here are the results:

Senso Riley heels, Senso Iggy sandals

Senso Molly flats, Senso Julia sandals

Senso Ula II heels, Senso Ula I heels

Senso Faye I sandals, Senso Ida V sandals

So don’t be afraid to pull out those socks you wish you’d never received at Christmas. They belong with your sandals.
