Socks and Sandals Faux Pas No Longer

That's right people, you may now leisurely gallivant around town both comfortably and stylishly. Wearing socks with sandals was deemed a fashion faux pas and was discouraged by fashionistas,stylists, and fashion editors alike. Like some fashion faux pas, some brilliant fashion soul revamped the lazy mundane look, and now most designers have adapted the newer chic look into their runway shows. Burberry Prorsum incorporated the look with snazzy metallic sandals in colors such as yellow, blue, magenta and even black. The look is tricky to pull off and perhaps isn't for everyone but here are a few photos just to show you how people are pulling it of today.

Camouflage Comeback

Army camouflage has fought its way back into the fashion scene and wardrobes of fashion lovers all over the world. Army chic is more popular perhaps now, then ever. A new twist on the rugged combat look has taken place, and designers such as Valentino and Givenchy have embraced the sizzling trend. The iconic pattern is usually distinguished by its earthy green fusion of colors, but don't be surprised if you spot brighter colors such as blue and orange brought into the mix. Below are just a few ways you can sport the hot trend this season.

Shoe Game

Guys, if you are not on the hottest shoe trend happening right now, you need to jump on it ASAP! Guys are becoming just as shoe obsessed as the one and only Carrie Bradshaw. The male shoe game has progressed to new fashion heights. From a time when men's shoes consisted of your basic New Balance running sneaker or Nike, along with a simple penny loafer and a more formal laced oxford in black or brown, shoes have since transformed into a whole new creature. Today there seems to be a variety of shoe styles that men have available to them. With individual styles bursting away from mainstream norms, shoes have become an integral part of any trend-setter's wardrobe.

Today the hottest shoe trend right now is the overly decked out sneaker. sneakers with platforms, sneakers with stuffed animals on them, sneakers decorated with metal and covered in spikes all seem to be what's hot with kicks today.

Beyond Fashion

The Metropolitan Museum of Art kicked of its annual Costume Institute Gala Benefit last night where the stars came out to put their best fashion foot forward. A drastic change from last year's punk exhibit, the Costume Institute Gala exudes elegance at its finest, showcasing the great American designer, Charles James. Charles James was considered an American couturier, although impossible as couture designers are only deemed haute couture by the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in France, and you must be a French based designer. Despite the extreme exclusivity of the haute couture community, Charles James' designs were immaculate. Charles really had a passion for what he did and incorporated elements of art, math and science to execute his architectural masterpieces.

The exhibit is open to the public May 8th and runs until August 10, 2014. Upon arrival you can see 75 of the most breathtaking designs produced by the famed designer throughout the extent of his career. This year's exhibit utilizes the new Anna Wintour Costume Center and the first floor's Special Exhibition Galleries.

This year the stars, socialites and fashion experts gracefully walked down fashion's hottest red carpet in gorgeous ball gowns fit for the event. Below are just some of the styles from last nights Gala.
