Ordinarily I can appreciate the merits of a new trend, especially when pioneered by modern day style icons and fashion heavyweights Alexa Chung, Chloe Sevigny and SJP. I do feel however, feel the socks'n'sandals combo is a step too far. On six year old girls? Fine. On Japanese Hirajuku girls wearing neon wigs? Fiiiine. On the grown women we have come to know, love and admire? This is an open shoe step too far.
Look, I know we struggle to let go of the summer in all it’s heavenly rosé glory, and returning our favourite new heels to their boxes to only replace them with that ol’wooly cardigan is excruciatingly hard… but sometimes it’s healthier, and a lot more stylish, to just let it go Ladies… it’s not cute and it’s not clever (clogs).
