Need permission to wear something? Then the answer is no. • Quiet confidence • Little nerve/ restraint can pull of look BUT: • No sandals w/ many stripes • No old testament man-dals • No shaggy mid calf woolies • Urban Dictionary
Urban dictionary comments • “A footwear combination worn only by the fashion-challenged.” • 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. • I saw a girl wearing track pants, a recreation hoodie and socks and sandals, so I threw up on her face. • Girl 1: did you see Harold with socks and sandals? • Girl 2: ughh yes, summers over winters over don’t mix the two!
conclusion • The Romans started it! • Trend Setting Designers are putting them on the runway • If you need permission to wear it, probably don’t
