Who doesn’t love a Wild Thing? Urban Outfitters is wearing its love for the upcoming book-turned-movie on its chest (and legs), Opening Ceremony drafted an entire collection of clothes and accessories inspired by Max and company, and even the sneaker makers at Lakai have a pair of limited-edition kicks dedicated to the beloved children’s classic. We couldn’t resist putting our own spin on this sartorial meme. Let the wild rumpus start!

Socks and Sandals by Mohop

Long banished as a faux pas that could have those daring enough to try it arrested by the fashion police, socks with sandals are now one of the hottest looks of the season! Why the change of heart?

Not to mention that once you try it, it looks really cute. Who better to show us how to green this inherently eco-conscious trend than the makers of the revolutionary Mohop sandal? Dubbed the ‘infinity sandal’, these wooden platform footbeds with sturdy rivets allow you to loop in any ribbon you want, turning these smart shoes into thousands of different pairs!
