Rita Ora has proved she’s the perfect case study for how to pull off the socks and sandals look effortlessly.

The singer was in London at BBC Radio on Friday, where she wore a sporty jacket, leather skirt and Paco Rabanne logo socks with strappy black sandals. So why does this look work so well? Her jacket and skirt are stylish but still sporty, which pairs well with her athletic-style black crew socks. The black T-strap sandals blend well with the socks, giving the illusion of a sock boot look.

Ora’s outfit is an example of how you can rock the socks-and-sandals look in a more casual way than Kendall Jenner did with her Jimmy Choo heels and sheer hue socks at the Cannes Film Festival. Plus, you might have the socks and sandals to pull off this look already in your closet.
