There used to be an MNposter who said: "Kill him" in response to egregious violations of, well anything that took their fancy.

In their absence: Kill him.:o

I read somewhere it's totally on trend to wear socks with sandals
Still looks bloody ridiculous to me

Honestly? LTB. He must know he looks ridiculous! Partners and friends are there to tell you when you look stupid.

How does that even work anyway? How can you wear socks with flip flops? Doesn’t the sock stop the bit going between his toes? Or do you mean slider style flip flops?
Either way, he will look ridiculous!
Let him strop off and mull it over... he will thank you one day!

Round the house or outside?

Maybe there are special socks?

I love the Daily Mash for this kind of thing

"Man wears hat to look like Peaky Blinders, ends up looking like Last of the Summer Wine" - that kind of thing.

I have worn 'sliders' instead of slippers for years, sometimes with socks thick fluffy ones and now my teens laugh and tell their friends I was way ahead of the crowd Grin
If he wears this combo outside of the house, I agree. Kill him.

I can confirm it is possible to wear socks with flipflops if the socks are thin and stretchy rather than sports type socks. I've done it more than once when dashing out to bring the washing in when raining, it's not exactly my go-to choice of footwear though, and would never do it in public!

Exactly what I thought (and would have asked him) Grin.

You are probably NBU. Depends on circumstances, OP. We need more info.

I do it for 20 sec at the pool - take shoes off at door of changing room, replace with flip flops and walk to changing cubicle with socks and flip flops. If your DH is walking down your local HIgh St with socks and flip flops, especially if they are the ones with a toe post, YANBU.

That's a picture!

Growing up in Southern California, this is how we'd spot an Armenian dad at the swimming pool. Black socks with sandals? Armenian dad. Grin

Noooo! That's a crime against flop flops. LTB immediately.

Buy him some Crocs, it’ll be easier to wear socks with lol, then you can decorate them with little Croc Jibbitz 😂😂😂😂😂xx

Apparently it's all the rage just now, well sliders (I think that's what everyone is calling them) and socks right up the calfs. Looks ridiculous imo. If he's wearing actual flip flops with toe posts, how does he walk?

Love the stomping off in socks and flipflops image Grin

Agree. Kill him.

I laughed at my nephew for doing the white socks with "sliders" thing. I got chastised by my sister because apparently, it was the height of youth fashion. That was last year though.

@InMyBloodstainedSundaysBest I'm also a quick shove flips on over socks to run the bin out grab washing etc but your name in relation to this has made me laugh, it's as though your flip flops made your feet bleed onto your Sundays best socks lol

Seriously though he wasn't going to go out properly with through the toe flip flops and socks surely??(

You clearly have no choice but to LTB. And then kill him, for capital crimes against fashion. Grin

Unless he is in fact wearing traditional Japanese dress on the rest of his body and can pass them off as tabi socks. In which case, post a pic.
