Socks with sandals?…No. Socks with heels?…Yes?

Who could forget the frilly white socks and the patent Mary Janes we all wore as little girls?  They were sweet, girly, and ever-so cute.  Well, judging by a trend that has grown over the last couple of years, it looks as if socks and heels have maintained some fans over the age of 8.  This look has be seen on the runways since about 2008, and is finally making its way into mainstream fashion.


This is definitely one of those styles that needs to be attempted with caution.  The shoes and socks have to be neutral enough to not be obnoxious, and the height of the socks need to be just right (either just above the ankle or knee high) so as to avoid stubby-leg syndrome.  I haven’t tried out this look yet, but the more I look into it, the more inspired I get to give it a go.  Take a look at some of the right and wrong ways to rock your socks!

  1. I am a self confessed sandal freak. i have over 750 pairs of sandals! although i have worn less than half of them, i still continue on my crusade to find that perfect pair, problem is, i almost always think that i have found the perfect pair at the time of purchase, but the high quickly fades once i get my credit card bill!
