Here’s the latest in my Style Tips for the sandal lovers among you.  You can still wear your sandals even though summer is over.  You may already know this, but I hope that my examples will give you more ideas for shoe options.  A girl always needs a wide array of shoes to choose from when adding the finishing touches to her outfits!  Age doesn’t matter.  ;D

Here is the tip:

Sandals may be used all four seasons.  Add tights when the weather is cool, and you’re good to go!  Socks are another option.

Alois at the blog Dress Like A Parisian has a great post that shows “How to Wear Tights with Open-Toe Shoes?”  Here are her do’s and don’ts:

  • Don’t wear super summery shoes
  • Don’t wear tights with a noticeable seam
  • Don’t wear flat open-toed shoes
  • Don’t wear worn-out shoes
  • Do choose the proper tights:  opaque, woolly or see-through
  • Do choose the proper open-toed shoes:  chunky urban-style sandals, delicate sandals or peep-toe shoes

The above rules are for tights.  Black tights are the most versatile.  You can also use  patterned stockings.

Socks are a different matter.  Flat sandals or open-toe shoes are totally fine with socks.  With these, you can go wild with socks in all colors, prints and textures.  Socks with Birkenstock sandals are a classic.

When it gets too cold to wear these Birkenstocks out, you can wear them as slippers around the house!

But you can have fun with mixing the prints in your socks and pants or skirts.  And leopard print goes with everything:
