David Beckham is an icon of our generation who rarely puts a foot wrong in the fashion department. Until now perhaps.
After celebrating his 44th birthday last week, it seems that the former footballer is now putting comfort ahead of his usual style, as he sported socks with sandals, in a fashion faux-pas.
Becks has been known to take fashion risks in the past. From a sarong to matching biker suits with wife Victoria Beckham , the style-conscious star has given most things a try. And to give him credit, he looked fabulous in each and every one.
But this latest choice might be his most “question mark” raising move yet.
The former footballer was seen accessorising a sharp navy-blue suit (winner) with a pair of bright red socks and brown Birkenstock sandals.
But before anyone rushes to copy his socks and sandals combo, we’ll take the charitable view. David’s decision to rock the trend might not have been entirely his own.
He was filming an advert for his House 99 skincare brand in Dorset when he was papped. Beckham was happily strolling around on set as if he didn’t have a care in the world.. He had probably swapped his usual designer trainers for something much more comfortable – the Birkenstock.
It actually looks good, if you ask me. And the socks HAD to be red.
But, if you’re DB, you could wear Florence & Fred at Tesco and still be crowned GQ Most Stylish Man of The Year.
