Take summer’s best shoes, introduce them to some warm socks andunleash this new pairing
into the winter world.Here’s how to do itwithout fear of looking like your sweet,
elderly neighbour on their weekly pilgrimage to the mailboxYOU’VE GOT:
SIMPLE TWO-
STRAP HEELS
If this trend seems terrifying,
start with a sexy heel and
mesh sock. The heel height
will boost confidence and the
mesh is an entry-level texture.
YOU’VE GOT:
CLOSED-IN
KITTEN HEELS
Pointed kitten heels can feel
prim, so pop-colour athletic
socks will give them a playful
edge. Peach works well as
it’s not jarring with neutrals.YOU’VE GOT:
FLATFORM
SANDALS
Casual cotton socks lend
a relaxed feel to flatforms.
Just be sure to scrunch (not
fold) – a subtle tug of the sock
at your ankle is how to do it.YOU’VE GOT:
SUMMER
SLIDES
The slides you lived in all
summer can practically
transform into boots
with complementing
dark-coloured socks.YOU’VE GOT:
SILK
MULES
Welcome to the big league.
Silk bow mules and logo
track socks is the combo
that shouldn’t work, but the
high-low mix is just right.
