Trend Alert: Socks With Open Sandals

Thank you, Burberry, for reaffirming what Chloe Sevigny and Kate Moss already taught us: You can wear socks with open sandals. Or can you?

At the Burberry show in London last night, guests like Gwyneth Paltrow, Freida Pinto and Posh Spice watched as the house's designer Christopher Bailey sent a bevy of trench-clad models scampering down the runway in teetering platform sandals worn with slouchy little socks—majorly showing. Honest to the gods of fashion: I love socks and sandals. It has a certain young, downtown, very London feeling that I've always aspired to. Plus, cool girls totally sport this look.


So, what do you think, will you be rocking this uber-edgy trend come spring or does it say "fashion victim" to you (Or worse, remind you of ye old camp counselor, who wore socks and Birkenstocks to canteen every night?) And girls, if you do opt to try it (which I hope you do), I seriously encourage you to invest in a few pairs of anti-skid "grip" socks. Sources close to us—who also happened to be front-row at Burberry—report that the models looked a bit, er, wobbly, in their socks and high-heels last night. Good luck, brave fashion souls
