Glancing at some of the recent 2008 ready-to-wear shows, it's easy to see that strappy sandals and leather ankle boots are no longer possible to pull off without a pair of frilly ankle socks or stripped thigh-highs.
Betsey Johnson, Anna Sui, John Galliano, Burberry Prorsum
If you're thinking Dad's old sandals paired with thick, white tube socks...think again. We're talking boots with socks of a vibrant color peeking over the top, or open-toed heels with a lacy foot cover!
With Autumn well on its way and Winter just around the corner, a nice pair of wool or cotton socks are the perfect accessory. Not only are they cheap, practical and thermal, but stylish as well!
Clockwise from top left corner:
Lacey ruffle socks, Sock Dreams $5.00; Fishnet tie-ups, Sock Dreams $6.00; Black basic, Urban Outfitters $12.00; Ruffle socks, Urban Outfitters $12.00; Striped top, Skate Socks $10.00
Socks, whether riding low on the ankles or hiked up to the thighs, have been slowly walking their way back into the fashion scene for the past couple seasons. As hard as it is for us to admit, it's almost time to fold up those gray or black leggings. Don't be too upset, socks are just as versatile; pull them up with a short skirt, or team them with a pair of pumps!
