Following the normcore trend of turning faux pas into fashion wins, showing your socks is actually cool now. If you can get past the old style stigma of wearing socks and sandals, it’s a so-wrong-it’s-right way of expanding your shoe wardrobe until it’s warm enough to go bare. Now that it’s cool to let your socks show, the wardrobe-expanding benefits are clear: wear ankle pants without the frigid draft, rock peep-toes and sandals without getting frost bite on your toes, get a much-needed break from tights without turning to pants, or actually keep your tootsies warm during the winter by layering them over tights. Here are some tips for how to show your socks.
Choose Statement Socks:
Consider going for socks with interesting patterns, colors, or textures that complement your outfit. They can be a focal point or a subtle accent depending on your preference.
Cuff Your Pants:
Roll or cuff your pants slightly above the ankle to expose your socks.
Or Wear Ankle-Length or Cropped Pants:
Wear ankle-length pants or cropped trousers or jeans that allow you to show off your socks.
Go for Low-Cut Shoes:
Choose shoes such as loafers, boat shoes, oxfords, or ankle boots that have a lower cut or expose more of your ankle area os yoru socks can peak out.
Wear them with Sandals
This is a great way to make your sandals and fancier heels work during the daytime. I love them with a platform.
Coordinate:
Coordinate the color of your socks with other elements of your outfit, such as your shirt, accessories, or even your shoes. You can match the color of your socks to a minor detail in your outfit for a cohesive look. Contrast them with your shoes so it looks more intentional.
Wear Over Leggings:
Rock tube socks over leggings with sneakers for that cool athleisure vibe. This is also practical as it keeps your legs and ankles warm for outdoor workouts and running around/school pick-ups in the cooler months.
And those are my top tips for how to show your socks.
