It's really warm outside today. I'm going to wear my Soffe shorts with myUgg boots. That will look cute. What is wrong with you? Are you still drunk from last night's party? The question of, "What shoes should I wear with this?" will be a question that will follow us for the rest of our lives, at least until we are too old to bend over and tie our shoes. At the University, we experience rapidly changing seasons. Some days it may be sunny and 85 degrees, and the next day it's windy with a high of 55. Some students are good at picking the right type of shoes to match the weather and season, while others still seem to be confused on what type of shoe is acceptable. There are two particular issues that seem to be prevalent in terms of footwear faux pas. First, never wear Ugg boots in the warm seasons. Some may argue that the Ugg Company advertises Uggs with shorts. Yes, they do. That is called high fashion. Your Soffe shorts and raggedy T-shirts are not high fashion, and in no means should be worn with Uggs. For all who may be unaware, Uggs are lined with sheepskin. Naturally, they are going to create a personal sauna for your feet if you're wearing them in the warm months, and not only do you look ridiculous, but your feet are sweating like k.d. lang at a Christian singles dance. To put it simply, don't wear your Ugg boots with anything other than jeans, cargo pants, or corduroy. The next footwear mistake I have witnessed at the University is wearing socks with sandals. Are you serious? What's the point? Sandals and flip-flops were designed to be worn without socks, and are meant to be worn in the warmer months, not while the temperature calls for sneakers or boots. Putting socks on with your sandals does not compensate for the cold weather, and just like those sad pantless girls running around in leggings, you too are at risk of frostbite. Let me tell you, wearing socks with sandals is about as sexy as a pocket protector. If you are wearing Velcro strap sandals with your white knee-high socks, that is a clear indicator that you are on track to becoming a 40-year-old virgin. Please do not wear socks with sandals or flip-flops. Save yourself the humiliation and put on sneakers or another suitable kind of footwear. If it is too cold to be wearing your sandals or flip-flops without socks, then you should not be wearing them at all. If it is warm enough to wear flip-flops and sandals and you are still wearing them with socks, it looks incredibly bad. People are staring and not in a flattering manner. Picking acceptable footwear for your outfit is fun and easy. With a little bit of common sense and fear of public humiliation, one can truly find the perfect shoe for their outfit that looks great and does not break any fashion rules.
