Sophie Turner Just Made This Outfit "Mistake" Look So Cool

What's an outfit faux pas that has been drilled into your mind ever since you can remember? For me, there's the old adage about not wearing white after Labor Day and the one that forbids you to wear socks with sandals. When it comes to the latter, Sophie Turner is all about bucking tradition. Photographed in New York City, Turner actually made the so-called outfit mistake look cool and effortless.
I always think of athletes wearing socks and sandals with baggy basketball shorts, but Turner paired the combo with formfitting, high-waisted, short denim shorts and an ab-baring crop top. Her fun check-print socks made it seem more intentional than if she had worn garden-variety white socks, so we'll probably be copying that styling trick. Oh, and don't overlook her perfect gold necklace, which is a favorite of the street style set right now. Scroll down to see how Sophie Turner wore socks with sandals, and shop her laid-back summer outfit.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
