SOCKS AS AN ACCESSORY : THE RIGHT WAY

SOCKS AS AN ACCESSORY : THE RIGHT WAY

Socks just got a whole new meaning. Previously reserved for cold weather, cushion, and comfort, they now serve as a bold fashion statement among fashionistas everywhere.

 

Yes, wearing socks with sandals or heels is certainly a controversial fashion combination, but done properly it can look extremely appealing and add that signature element your outfit may be lacking.

Originally from English and German descent, the first occurrences of the ‘sock trend’ happened with the Romans at least 2000 years ago. Fast forward to today, and it’s a staple on the catwalk and the city streets. If you’re a risk-taker or just like expressing your creativity in a unique way, then this is the kind of trend worth some experimentation. It’s an instant way to update your look.

 

 

Not sure how to wear socks and unexpected footwear the right way? To avoid a fashion faux pas aka the ‘grandma look’, play it casual, accessorizing platforms, wedges, flats and heels with ankle socks or, when appropriate, knee-highs.

 

 

We suggest pairing the more delicately fabricated socks and hosiery according to shoe shape, carefully coordinating the color and the structure of the shoe with the type of socks you’re wearing. The key is to find the right balance. Silky materials are well suited for an elegant heel or an oxford shoe, while a chunkier texture mixes well with heavier shoe styles like platforms or boots.

 

 

If you’d like to stay on the safer side, wearing socks with sneakers is certainly a stylish option, as long as it has the color and texture contrast that makes it pop and stand out. Darker colors work better and add sophistication to any type of shoe, while details make all the difference.
