There is a certain appeal to people who try really, really hard to look like they aren’t trying really, really hard, even though they clearly are. That alone is a fashion statement. This article explores an ensemble that many who fit the above description cannot resist. A trend initiated by Gucci and finalized by random girls on Instagram: Ladies and gentlemen, we give you heels with socks.
The question here is not whether you can wear socks with sandals or heels. Of course, you can as long as you own a pair of both. There is no right or wrong way to put on accessories, and there isn’t much to pull off this look; be hyper-aware of the aesthetics you are going for and color coordinate.
Bold colors can make any combination go south, yet this one delivered. She picked two complimenting colors and stuck to them, demonstrating an excellent way of working neon hues into your outfit. Her lime socks are just a shade brighter than her heels, matching her eye make-up and babushka, while the oversized blue coat color blocks to avoid an overly matchy look.
While the decision to style a bow on top of a tiered dress barely visible under the wide-spread collars of her trench coat remains questionable, there is something so well done about the colors here.
Let's talk about her socks. Lace, out of all fabrics, introduces a sense of romance, and the color combo of her sandals, along with her coat, proves how irrelevancy can be harmonious.
This one is a classic. Notice how the white ankle socks set the tone of the outfit, adding an element of casualty to what otherwise would have been dressy attire.
