What is wrong with wearing socks with sandles?
In what fashion bible does it say this is a no no?
I wear sandles all year round (I have very hot feet) and in the colder days I wear socks
(2 pairs in the winter when it is very cold)
and I am jolly well getting fed up with people making snide comments

I had a lecturer at uni that would tie tesco carrier bags over his socks and sandals when it was raining, this could really complete the look Jason

I have no idea how socks and flip flops work - I just heard about it because my 9 yr old DD at the time point blank refused to be seen with the woman in public.

Tippychoocks · 02/08/2010 20:46

crocs n anything are a no no unless you are a chef or a nurse.

If we're talking about a man who must wear sandals (though I cannot see what is wrong with a loafer or deck shoes rather than trainers), are not socks and sandals better than manky feet?

Jason, I don't feel that wearing colourful/novelty socks help you out at all in this argument. But at least they're not towelling white socks that leave a lovely line round your ankle I guess.

CindersIsNotApoet · 02/08/2010 20:48

I m still pondering on the white escort

and agree sandles may feel better with socks

but may
not LoOk better ..

Jasonthunderpants · 02/08/2010 20:49

Oh I've just realised the OP is JasonThunderpants.

Is this all made up because you are trying to repel your "fans" because you are finding it a bit much?

Are you in fact a Boden model who is overwhelmed by his own attractiveness?

CindersIsNotApoet · 02/08/2010 20:50

never say

nEver...

BelleDameSansMerci · 02/08/2010 20:51

Jason, are you an engineer? If not, then I'm sorry but you're not allowed to wear socks with sandals. It's just wrong.

CindersIsNotApoet · 02/08/2010 20:52

be an

estate agent ..

Tippychoocks · 02/08/2010 20:53

Jason, if you are a Boden model who is overwhelmed by his own loveliness, I am here for you Let me help.

2kids2dogsandahorse · 02/08/2010 20:53

Even engineers shouldn't wear socks and sandals

tethersend · 02/08/2010 20:54

It's so whack it's fly. Or something.

Jasonthunderpants · 02/08/2010 20:57

I am a SAHD not an engineer and am not trying to repel my fans. I just get cross that people are led blindley by the fashion industry
The rest of me is quite stylish. Think of Aurther sleep from Gigglebiz, brown is my colour.Tan ,carky,chocolate,beige etc

You have been rumbled.

nickschick · 02/08/2010 21:01

Monty100 · 02/08/2010 21:01

I wear socks with birkies to be 'ironic'

I think that sums up the wrongness of socks n sandles. But who bloody cares?
