The Apocalypse has never been nearer: socks and sandals at Prada:

^ plain irony

i find this hillarious-ly fun

 

[bluedolphin]

not very good!

 

[Ianastar]

I dont like any of the styles

 

[BerlinRocks]

the faux pas is not the sandals...
the faux pas is the sockets in sandals... so ugly and german tourist (no harm to german ppl!)

didn't notice :

The Apocalypse has never been nearer: socks and sandals at Prada:

 

[Lena]

yes, yes but it's anti-stylish/anti-proper, hence ridiculous and fun

the socks /sandals trick can only work with the bravest rebels from the young non-conformist crowd, i swear i've seen the look in 'scene' kind of clubs already

some boys may just want to have a laugh

Burberry, Prada & Sander exmples posted are super
i can see some of my buddies wearing them (sans socks..)

 

[saann]

I don't really like this.. esp not the Prada ones

 

[Mr-Dale]

Well fun and hip or not, in the real world, this will melt down into 40-50-60-something men wearing them to Benidorm, which I think is quite horrid

Some more at Gucci:

I can't believe people were so shocked at Miuccia putting sox n sandalz together....it is Prada after all. To me, Miuccia always strives to find the beautiful/fashionable in the ugly, unorthodox and unexpected.

Still detest them though...

i hate mens sandals..just stick to flip flops during the summer.. ew...!

 

[splatooey]

poor men; why can't they have breezy shoes in the summer?

 

[markie]

I love sandals and always have. So I like this trend.

 

[SomethingElse]

Great thread. The patent leather sandals are a scream! But from what little I know of fashion, this is sadly not going to be the ultimate faux pas. A new kick will come along that will top this. Isn't that something to look forward to?

For me, I think only sandals+shorts works.
Sandals + suit? @.@

 

[travis_nw8]

the fesux pas is the sandal sock combo, but personally i have no problem with men and sandals in summer ( as long as the feet are in good condition!)
Men in flip-flops away from any source of water is a total no-no though...

 

[Mr-Dale]

^Hmm I have to disagree on that last one
Thusfar the ones at D&G look best to me...the ones with the crossover straps actually look like they might be cool.

 

[Alejandro]

Sandals always come out in the summer, that doesnt mean you have to wear them.

 

[greeen]

^ yeah!



maybe my hatred of mens sandals stems from the fact that 90% of the men I see walking around have horrible feet!
