How to Wear Socks With Sandals and Not Look Like Your Dad at Disney

The socks with sandals combo is typically associated with fanny pack–strapped dads on a family Disney vacation—not an It girl.

Somewhere between your embarrassing father and the leggy model, there lies a cool middle ground.

Above, seven easy ways to translate the eclectic footwear vibe into your everyday lineup—no ball gown or fanny pack required.
