The latest socks from the NeatoShop display a major no-no of style in the form of the combination of socks and sandals.
The socks appear to be attached to a pair of old style sandals with large golden buckles and brown leather straps. Wearing these socks in public would be quite a defiant act, unless you tell people you're being ironic.
For a large amount of men it is still unclear why this combination is such a insulting violation of fashion. You'll see them walking around unbeknownst to how out of touch they appear to be -- or maybe they just don't care.
Either way these socks are a tribute to the plight of those men who march on with socks and sandals. Stay strong my brothers!
