Socks in sandals - does that have to be?

The trend: ankle socks in sandals

Before you continue to read, you must free yourself from any prejudice against stockings in summer shoes. The tennis sock in the trekking sandal is a fashion statement in 2015. Whether ribbed stockings in pumps, fine silk socks in strappy sandals or thick wool stockings in sandals - in the summer of 2015, all this is allowed!

Can you bear the supposed horror trend this summer without hesitation? In the fashion editorial department opinions differ ...

Socks in Sandals: Why not?

"A trend that I find great and like to join in!"

"I've come across this trend to be honest in 2007, but was scorned contemptuously in the street for it." The negative reactions were so incisive that I quickly banished this gimmick from my fashion heart.

All the better for me now is that the designers on the catwalks for the summer of 2015 showed us how chic socks in sandals can be - and that social acceptance thus increases a bit. Furthermore, it is terrific that the image of a sock-wearing tourist in hiking sandals is replaced by fashion-conscious and well-styled fashionistas with stylish glittering socks and great sandals. The trend is very diverse and I'm sure I'll soon be walking my neon pink stockings in my new 70s shoes with wooden plateau and leather straps! "

Socks in sandals are somehow better for 6 year olds than me

"I think feet are in the summer in the fresh air!"

"When people in fashion are brave and break the rules of supposedly good taste, I find that very welcome - socks in sandals, of course, why not, but please do not stand on my feet!

I'm sure the trend can look pretty chic on others, not just on the catwalk. But I would feel very disguised. Somehow I think of mischievous 6-year-old wearing white socks with ruffles to foot-friendly sandals and a moonwashed denim skirt - probably because I spent much of my childhood in exactly this look.

I think in the summer feet earned a bit of fresh air. We can wear socks long enough - in autumn and winter, along with thick boots. "
