Not only are these socks pretending to be boots, they’re ALSO socks which are attached to shoes.
And not only THAT, but they’re socks attached to UGLY shoes into the bargain.
That’s three offences right there. If you spot any more, please let us know. If you want to take a closer look at them, in the comfort of your own home, say, then click here to buy them from Yoox.com.

We’re a little torn on this dress. On the one hand, it’s kitschy and nostalgic and reminds us of childhood playdates. But on the other, well, frankly it’s all a bit the hills are alive! We suppose we should at least be grateful it doesn’t come in curtain fabric with a matching headscarf…
What do you think: The Sound of Music or super cute?

Don’t you hate it when this happens? You get to a party and you realise that you’re wearing half your leather dress and half a crepe one. And then you realise that you don’t own any dresses that split in half, so this must be another crime of fashion from our old friends at Maison Martin Margiela.
We could probably let this go if both halves of the dress were the same length and looked like they belonged together, but as it is it just looks like someone stuck two pieces of two dresses together and called it a mess dress.
What do you think though? Would you wear this dress? It is sold out in 3 sizes so someone must be buying it. If you want it, it can be yours for £685 here.

Despite the best efforts of our officers this week, we just didn’t find too many celebrities on our usual beat, so today’s gallery is a little smaller than usual. We’re sure you’ll still have fun rating these looks, though, so we’ll say no more and let you get on with it.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

OK, is anyone else seeing a straw hat here? The kind you can buy for a few pounds at any one of many beach-side stalls, in any beach town in the world? Because we’re seeing an ordinary straw hat, here, folks, and so we’re REALLY wondering where the $520 price tag comes in here. Was the straw woven by angels? Is that chiffon bow (which you could add yourself to one of the aforementioned cheap straw hats for WAAAAY less than $520) shot through with solid gold? Or is this a classic example of Daylight Robbery, with helpless fashion victims being tricked into paying $520 for a STRAW HAT, just because “It’s LANVIN! It’s DESIGNER!”
We think it’s the latter. If you disagree, and you need that $500 hat in your life RIGHT NOW, click here to buy it.

Here at Fashion Police HQ we’ve a wary eye cast towards the first signs of Spring already. And what better way to accessorise all those lovely floaty dresses and floral prints than with soft pink suede and tassels?! Beautiful!
