Lose the hybrid shoes.
You know the ones I’m talking about—they’re the love child of a dress shoe and a sneaker with a comfortable foam sole, and they’re just awful. Seriously, it’s the worst kind of mash-up there is. Repeat after me: A shoe can be a sneaker, and a shoe can be a wing tip or a loafer, but it cannot (or should not) be everything at once. I don’t care how comfortable they are, if you have a pair, toss them immediately and get a pair of shoes with a single purpose.

Winter Socks

A: Marled, Heather, and Camp socks are all the rage right now, especially these J Crew versions.

Marled Socks, J Crew $16.50

Camp Socks, J Crew, $16.50

Yet, the J Crew ones are a bit pricey for me.  Check out the versions below at half the price from The Woodlands (which is a pretty sweet online store, btw). These are a little rougher around the edges than the J Crew ones (a quality that I actually like), but they’ll definitely work.

Crew Socks Two Feet Ahead $8

Rockford Socks, Fox River Mills, $7
