Style Notes: How To Wear Socks And Sandals

I’ve learned over the years that you should wear what you want when you want. No matter the trend. This act has allowed me to hone in on my style. Wearing socks with sandals or mules falls into this realm. It is a look that often pops up as a trend, yet feels like a classic when paired with a Birkenstock.

Socks are such a subtle way to bring an outfit together. You can add a pop of color, and contrast and even go for a monochromatic look and blend everything. This Fall I revamped my sock drawer and added several new pairs. Below you’ll find some tips on how to wear socks and sandals alongside a roundup of my go-to socks to get you started.

How To Wear Socks And Sandals

• Match your accessories. All black look with a brown bag? Throw on brown socks.
• Calf-length socks give you the option to wear them tall with a pair of sneakers or scrunched down with your sandals.
• Add some glitter for an evening look with strappy sandals.
• If you’re having trouble fitting your foot in your sandals now that you have socks on it’s a no-go. Anything forced is always a good indicator that it’s not working in your favor.

Sock Roundup

1. Ribbed with Glitter Cashmere Blend Short Socks $9

I have yet to try a sock from this brand that I don’t love.

2. Heart Socks $20

My favorite way to add a small pop of color. The hearts come in five color ways, and I think these would make a sweet Valentine’s Day gift too.

3. Cashmere Blend Trouser Socks $59.50

Currently on sale and available in nine shades, this sock is a classic. They’re thin yet cozy and warm, making them perfect for crisp spring days.

4. Girlfriend Socks $14

Le Bonne Shoppe socks are as good as the cool girls say they are. Plus you will feel like you’re in the know wearing them.

5. Hybrid Ribbed Calf Socks $16

I have a high instep and arch and I love not only the arch support on these but the cushioning.
