Combining the extremes -- sporty, blazing-white Nike crew socks with stylish black square-heeled sandals -- seems like a very bad idea on paper. IRL, this chic street styler makes it a statement with and all black get-up (crop top and maxi skirt with slits).

Pretty much anything J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons does goes. That includes these shiny metallic pumps with matchy nylon socks.

The best way to weatherproof your favorite sandals? Add socks. These black crew socks with strappy, tri-color sandals are the perfect example of making seasonal trends last all year long.
