love it or hate it, this trend seems to be sticking around for FW10. most recently, alexander wang (probably the most watched designer right now for of-the-moment looks - the messy side braid anyone?) showed most of his resort 2011 looks with the socks/sandals combo:

while i can understand why people would hate this trend, i think it can definately work with certain outfits. the socks absolutely have to be pretty - sheer neutral colours a la burberry or with a little shimmer as seen at dior. you don't want to wear your basic white hanes socks with this look - it will not work.
stick to high heels - socks won't look right with flat sandals. you can stick to the same colour family as your sandals (neutral socks with neutral sandals at burberry; purple shimmerry socks with purple heels at dior) for a more understated look; or go completely the opposite colour of your shoes for a more obvious look (white socks with black heels at alexander wang). you can even pair neon socks with neutral shoes if you really want to add a pop of colour to your outfit!
