How to Wear Socks and Sandals Trend
Would You Ever Wear Socks With Sandals?
We admit it: we've dipped our toe into the shallow end of the "normcore" pool for a while now. First, when we decided — along with Givenchy, Isabel Marant, and the Olsen twins — that Birkenstocks were cool again and then when we started pairing them with faded mom jeans. By the time we started rocking Tevas, that '90s Summer camp staple we swore we'd never speak of again, we were sandal-deep in that pool. And now, it's looking as if that sandal comes with socks.
That's right: the latest wave of the ugly-chic shoe trend — perfectly timed with the transition to Fall and Winter weather — is all about wearing socks with sandals. (Cue awkward dads everywhere saying, "I told you so.")
The Teva team has collaborated with Woolrich on a side-by-side collection of the sport sandal and complementary wool-blend socks, with each pairing costing a cool $65. But how do you even begin to style this throwback trend? That part comes free. Two brave fashion stylists have created some promising looks to ease us into the idea, and they've even doled out tips on how to keep working the latest look in the normcore movement all year long. See those, and real-girl styling techniques, below.
