Lesson #23 Socks with Sandals . . .

      Socks with sandals. A classic faux-pas. You would think that in Italy, the most fashion forward country in the world, you might not see it everyday, this is not a good assumption to make. However, no true Italian would be caught dead in this dreadful ensemble, but their wise fashion sense does not always rub off onto others.
     For example, my Art of Rome professor tends to make this bizarre fashion statement daily. His socks with sandals are a staple to his wardrobe and he has lived in Italy for over 10 years. Clearly, he is not at all influenced by the dirty looks Italian's give him while walking down the street.

     Lesson #23: Just because the Italians don't do it, means you DEFINITELY should not do it . . .
