Socks+sandals: Alexander McQueen pairs the unthinkable

Tag : men sock

Our world is officially rocked. If men are pulling off pantyhose (or mantyhose) these days, then it's hard to really fault someonefor pairing sock with sandals (if you can call them sandals) -- especially when it actually looks good . Not wear it out in public good, mind you , but good in that ' wow that doesn't even really look offensive ' kind of way. Actually, we think they look like some sort ofcouture bowling shoes.

McQueen is the master of committing fashion heresy to get his showsin the news. Somehow, it seems like he's is always throwing weirdcombinations at us that we can't quite categorize. Just like his necktie-speedo , this footwear begs for a new type of classification. Is it anincomplete shoe? Or an over-engineered sandal?

Maybe it's time for a the hybrid shoe-sandal (shoedal?) to have a proper place in the world of footwear. Still,the hard part is deciding whether it's really OK to wear socks.Because of the intense stigma attached, we've never tried the socks+sandals combo. Does feel as wrong as it looks?
