From Taboo to Trendy: Socks, Sandals and Other Former Faux Pas

They say it couldn’t be done, but like most fashion rules, sock statutes are meant to be broken. Who says you can’t wear your softest socks with your sleekest sandals? Not us. We say it’s time to embrace these slouchy, fuzzy and cozy stockings and liberate the taboo trends that have repressed your quirky style.

Socks & Sandals

Don’t worry about this once-feared faux pas. Socks and sandals bring a new aged cool to your basic hosiery. Not just for the gym, wear a pair of socks with your favorite sandals to get more out of your summer shoes. Slide on a pair of ribbed wool socks with classic Birkenstocks in transitional weather.

Socks & Tights

Layer more than your favorite tops. If you’re looking for an outfit that stands out, slip on a pair of black cashmere socks over sheer, silk tights. Highlight the look with a stark white shirt blouse and two-toned oxfords for preppy polish.

Socks & Heels

Go ahead and wear your socks with heels, no one is stopping you. They’re too busy admiring your fashion-forward approach to hosiery. Be it a thigh-high boot with an inch of sock peeking over the top, or a strappy pump and a satin sock, wear the combo with confidence. Stick to color on color for a minimal look or color on print for a pop of personality.

High Socks & Short Hems

Don’t confine yourself to hideable ankle socks, show off stockings that know no bounds. Climbing well above your ankle, explore the possibilities of a high sock, short hem combo. Wear your solid, mid-rise socks with a midi skirt to give the illusion of full-legged hosiery without the hassle. For a sexy look without baring it all, team a knee-high with a mini dress.

Freshen up your sock drawer and usher in a new way to wear your hosiery. Embrace the taboos that have gone trendy and slip on socks in new ways.

Skip the cold feet and embrace the sock faux pas of the past.
