Anna Wintour was once quoted saying that she hated the popular runway trend of wearing socks with sandals more than she hated the Kardashians. OUCH. But now that she’s become friendly with Kim (shoutout to Kanye for the intro!), I’ll take that as a peace offering between her and the socks-with-sandals beef.

Anyway, I know that most hardcore ManRepeller fans can appreciate this styling trick, but most of the general public tends to shy away from it just for the mere fact that it totally makes NO SENSE.

Hear me out though. I used to be one of the naysayers, like no way, runway does not translate to real way. The moment that changed my life – erh, my mind, was one hot summer day in NYC. I came across this quintessentially cool NYC gal walking by wearing a thin sweater with a fly away open back, denim cut-offs, an A.P.C. bag and socks with black heels. Instantly, I wanted to be her: so cool, so effortless, so confident.

Sorry for the novel – but really, that image has stuck with me for so long and though I probably get more stares from people wondering if I’m homeless and I do this to keep my toes warm, I wear it loud & proud – and you can, too.

I recommend staying in neutral territory when it comes to the color palette. For example, I purposely wore a grey sweater, grey socks and silver metallic sandals so it was less distracting and more, I woke up like this. To break it up a bit, I recommend throwing in some colorful accessories.
