  • Gigi Hadid made socks with sandals actually look cute while attending WARDROBE.NYC's launch of Release 04 DENIM & Levi's® Collaboration in New York City on Wednesday.

  • She paired the look with other trendy items, like biker shorts, delicate gold necklaces, and layers of denim.


There are few fads in fashion that are as detested as the wearing of socks with sandals. Glimpsing the abomination—usually in the form of thick, soiled socks paired with Velcro-strapping sandals—immediately induces the memory of your dad wearing some similar ensemble to a parent-teacher's conference in high school, much to your embarrassment. Suffice to say, this duo is anathema to all fashion common sense.

Still, that didn't deter supermodel Gigi Hadid from tapping into the trend. While attending WARDROBE.NYC's collection launch event on Wednesday, Hadid wore black crew socks with a pair of Valentino Birkenstocks. To our surprised delight, it actually kind of worked.

Maybe it comes as no surprise that Hadid is able to make the usually inept look work for her—after all, she is a style trailblazer. And, of course, it also helps that the rest of her outfit doesn't resemble anything a fashionably clueless dad would probably wear.

With her hair pulled back into a neat half-bun, Hadid finished off her outfit with delicate gold necklaces, a plain white tee, black biker shorts, and oversized denim layers. She carried a small handbag with a black-and-white lightning bolt print to the event as well.
