Socks and sandals style…
once a fashion faux-pas; now a fashion trend.
But a trend that must be executed right.

So how do you pull off socks and sandals style?

With good fashion style.

Not  bad.

How do you rock socks and sandals style?

First choose a socks and sandals style that suits your personal look + style.
If your look is Classic and Contemporary, keep your socks and sandals style classic and contemporary with a mono chromatic statement.

If your look is more Downtown Chic, then give your socks and sandals style a bit of an edge.

And if your look is more casual and relaxed then go with a heavier, textured sock for that laid-back sporty feel.

Second your socks and sandals style must suit your body shape, leg shape and be age appropriate.

Shorter, ankle-style socks look best on taller, slender figures with thinner legs. It’s a young women’s look and will give a sweet ‘girly’ feel to any outfit.

Longer, thinner socks, bunched loosely at the ankle will create the illusion of a longer leg and thinner ankle; visually balancing a thicker leg.

Keeping your socks similar in colour to your sandals will create a more elegant leg line, a look often more suitable for mature fashionistas but lovely on the younger ladies too.

Third choose the right socks for the right sandals.
