Ankle socks are your new favourite accessory, thanks to Kirsten Dunst

Another day, another paparazzi shot of Kirsten Dunst looking incredible. The exciting thing about this image? Kirsten has managed to make ankle socks and shoes – a famous fashion faux pas – look really, really good, and we want to DIY.

The way to mastering it? The socks must be sheer. A delicate black pair is the easiest to try if you’re still feeling unsure. Pair them with black pointed heels and opt for a midi skirt or cropped trousers like Kirsten. Short skirts will make your look seem too ‘school uniform’, this is wearing socks the grown up way. Try it now.
