How to wear it: Sandals, clogs and socks
The main fashion rule of today refers to one simple thought - there are no rules in principle. You can wear anything and as you please - the main thing is that you feel comfortable and confident in this. And yet many techniques, long beloved by stylists, still lead many to confusion. One of them - the combination of sandals with socks, included in the list of trends for the summer. In order to dispel doubts, we picked up socks for 11 pairs of open shoes - we hope this will convince those who doubt that this can be beautiful, and most importantly - practical, given the specifics of the Russian weather. We just need to remember that in this case, your socks will see everything and you should make a choice in favor of quality (and those who are not seasoned).
Floral print clogs and socks
Shoes on a high "wooden" platform with a massive heel, decorated with rivets, this season is experiencing another peak of popularity. In this case, the classics of the genre can be called the shoes of the Swedish brand Swedish Hasbeens, but now various variations of clogs can be found in Gucci and Zara. You can wear them and just like that, but you can with thick, perhaps even wool socks and golf. Thanks to the bulky look of the clogs themselves, this combination looks the most harmonious. We decided to support the trend on the ethnics: golfs with a floral pattern, consisting of materials of different textures, refer to the 70th, but in a modern context in combination with clogs they look fresh and interesting.

Sandals on the platform and socks with an ironic pattern
Socks with an ironic pattern - the purchase is not for everyone; those who are willing to wear them with open shoes, even less. And yet they are ideal for those who relate to their own appearance with a bit of irony. The main thing is that the shoes should also not be too "serious", for example, like these bright sandals in the style of the 60s.

Heeled sandals and large mesh socks
High-heeled sandals and large mesh socks are a dangerous combination. There is always a chance to go too far and slide into vulgarity. Flat sole in this case is still the safest option. But if you are not afraid of anything, choose minimalist options for sandals, such as this laconic pair of relatively new brand Mansur Gavriel. In any case, Alexander Wang and Edie Slimane stubbornly suggest wearing tights (and at the same time socks) in a net with everything in a row: with creepers and with Birkenstocks. And the most courageous we advise to pay attention to socks in a grid of bright color, for example red.

Slippers and shiny socks
The brighter the shine, the more interesting. Slippers with sequins and beads themselves can be a great accent in appearance. If you want to tighten the shine to the maximum - wear them with socks made of lame or with metallic thread, which can be found in a huge number of inexpensive brands, from Monki to Pull & Bear. With this combination, a strict black suit can be a great outfit for a party. Another win-win is laconic silk pajamas, for which you have been unable to find the right shoes for so long.

Sustained heel shoes and socks in color
Neat shoes with a steady heel thanks to their own versatility can be the main purchase of spring. You can start wearing them very soon - with thin nylon socks in a pattern or ribbed socks. You can experiment with contrasts for a long time, but we would take an example from the recent Gucci show and the reference “pink” exit. Monochrome in the new reading is appropriate even at a business meeting.

Bright pumps and beige socks
Beige socks from a variety of materials may well argue with whites in practicality - you can wear them literally with anything: they can be an addition to both intricate slippers with a metallic sheen and kitten heels shoes. Wear them with bright boats or sandals - it will turn out at the same time elegantly and with restraint. After the office, you can immediately go to a party.

Brilliant sandals and calm socks
For those who want to slightly bring down the "pathos" of gold shoes and make it a little more everyday, you should pay attention to the most soothing socks or knee-highs that are not screaming shades. Speech in this case is not about sporting heels, but simple, but worthy of publication options, for example, these black socks with a barely noticeable pattern. If you like combinations of various textures, try to wear them with thin nylon socks: with or without a pattern - your choice.

Mules and socks with rich decor
Flat mules, reminiscent of traditional Moroccan shoes, this spring and summer can be found in any mass market. You can wear them as soon as the sidewalks dry up: socks in this case can be a functional accent. In the course, as is the case with last year's birk stocks, literally everything can go: bright colors, a hem, various prints and decor. We’ll also stop at the last one: paying huge money for socks is a real madness. It is unlikely that they can be called a long-term investment. Therefore, we advise you to thoroughly practice, armed with a thread, a needle and a set of large rhinestones. For inspiration, you can consider the product (in a different way, these works of art and can not be named) Dolce & Gabbana or Simone Rocha. Wearing such with sports slippers or sneakers is also a great idea.

Fur slippers and socks with frills
We have already written many times about how this season designers took a great interest in experiments with frills and ruffles. This trend is quite applicable to the hosiery world. Socks with frills look infantile and touching: they can be worn with sneakers, with classic pumps, and with ordinary sandals. But in combination with fur slippers, they will give you a person who is not afraid of risky combinations. Perhaps this combination will seem to someone brute force - in this case, you can make a choice in favor of conventional cashmere socks suitable contrasting shades, such as dusty pink.

Open shoes in men's style and socks with a pompon
Every spring-summer season designers try to adapt classic men's shoes. The main criterion is convenience and ease: try to spend at least five minutes in ordinary brogues with thirty degrees of heat. Hence, all these variations of lofters without the back and various perforations and cuts of Oxford. Whether to wear them with socks is not a question. Choose any: white cotton and multi-colored with decor will be appropriate. We chose a modest version with a soft pom-pom, moderately cheerful and discreet.

Rough sandals and socks with a strip
Unkillable sandals brand Dr. Martens and socks with a strip look like a combination of any film about the school life of the 90s. You can wear them with light floral dresses or with short denim shorts. Go in this form in the summer can be in the city and the sea.
