The gangster way for wearing sandals

Cool Chit Chat - #Socksnslides The gangster way for wearing sandals

I saw them with my own eyes: extratall boys with socks and slides, walking around as if nothing had happened, in Santa Monica’s streets.

New trend or mass disinhibition, one thing is certain: the taste never rests. In detail they are basket socks (those sponge with double line contrast) worn with the slides , which are real pool slippers, often used post workout .

Adidas is marching heavily on the issue in marketing. In late summer, in London, has organized an exclusive party theme . Very funny , alternative , and undoubtedly the relax is priceless.

The fact remains that, aesthetically speaking, the final effect is an abortion. Cropping legs better than Jack the Ripper, distract one's attention from the rest of the outfit and give that air of eternal children, not always productive .

In the world of fashion inspiration was perhaps a little ' cross . How can we forget the slippers with fur proposals by Céline for the last summer season. But the certainty is that this is one of those trends established precisely from the street, and that is why I decided to consult the Urban Dictionary.

 

 
Digging in the depths of the web more sporty you can find forums where the topic is being debated . The supporters are justified :

1 . "Only with slippers, without socks, my feet stink." Here it comes to deciding whether or die suffocated by the stench sickened at the sight of this mess , the choice is yours .

2 . " Are so comfortable." So much so that some wear two pairs of socks overlapping such as walking on the moon. It would be convenient if you go out in your pajamas, but thank God we still have the good sense not to do it

3 . " Only women can show their feet in public." The men are not always manicured feet , blisters and calluses on the agenda. The sock , in this case , it could become our hero .

Taking a sociological analysis of the most likely victims of this trend will be ugly men , who wear them from birth and never stop , they find themselves unwitting witnesses to the consolidation of a new trend; preppy - sporty girls , the same that wore this summer long skirts with sneakers, have a fixed " play down " every look and if they were born in the 70s would have been avid fan of Jane Fonda; black people , in the end maybe they are the only ones that will be fine seriously, the contrast of black and white sock and always has its why; former basketball players , they do not take away more out of habit , like the high collar of tennis and short of the runner . We like so, with quell'allure of vintage sports . For what it wasting ink on the paper I know that I’ll fall victim to this trend, because it tickles creativity and stimulates experimentation.

Let's just hope not to get too bad, that to jump from funny to ridicule it only takes a moment
