heels and socks

StyleBakery.Com

First spotted  on Prada runways, the socks and heels trend has slowly become more and more popular. However chic it is, if not worn properly, the trend can easily take your outfit from fashion forward to fashionably confused tourist. Keep in mind "This is NOT about wearing your stripey knee socks under a pair of 5-inch patent leather Pleaser Mary Janes," a rule so aptly put in an article on HauteMacabre.com. In other words, avoid shoes that are more suited for a sleazy profession. Wear neutral colored non-frilly socks that are not too dark and not too light; save more feminine socks with ruffle or lace hems for ankle booties and field boots. Sock lengths anywhere from just-above-the-ankle to just-above-the-thigh can work well, however, just-above-the-ankle to mid-calf length socks are most prevalent.
