When it comes to sandals they are usually a hit or miss in the fashion world.  Breaking some of these rules will make you look ridiculous and probably get some snickers from others.  There are some fashion rules with sandals that simply cannot be broken.

No Socks With Sandals

This is the oldest rule in the book when it comes to sandals and yet you’ll still see people walking around with this horrible combo.  The whole point of wearing sandals is to give your feet air and be free.  Don’t walk around with a contradicting look.  Just don’t.

No Hiking Sandals

Listen…NO HIKING SANDALS!   These sandals are practically shoes, but with strategic slots cut out to allow “breathability”.  Sure with its waterproof materials it may be handy to have.  These were definitely not made to be fashionable.  Just because it may be able to handle some rugged activity doesn’t mean it should be worn however.  If you’re going to be doing serious hiking then pick up some boots that offer the protection you should have when hiking.  Sadly, we usually see these worn by dads in their 30′s in various public places no where near hiking trails or mountains.

No Athletic Slip-ons

Athletic slip-ons are easy to wear and usually pretty comfortable.  We get it, but fashion does not always mean you can wear comfortable clothes.  Face it, you don’t see people walking around in moo-moos or nighties.  It just isn’t fashionable.  The only time it’s acceptable to wear slip-ons are if you are going to or coming from soccer practice.  They just don’t fit in with any other type of clothing.  Leave them on the field.
