What: Socks for Summer!
Why: Because they are a continuation of the sexy shoe boot trend but a warm weather version. Because short socks under sandals can give the same look as the heavy gladiator. Because it’s the hot, hot trend straight off the runways (last week) for spring summer 2010 ! Because sometimes your little footsies can get cold. And you are in need of a pedicure.
Which: Go for soft, light, or almost sheer. It’s not about wearing a chunky, hand knitted, clumpy version. You want a solid colour (stripe socks anyone?). Most probably in a pretty pale colour or maybe black. They could have a rib but they do not have a lace trim. Eeek.
Wear: With all your strappy chunky high gladiator sandals. You can pull them up to the knee (as Miuccia did at Prada seasons ago) but this summer pull them down so they slouch around the ankle. You need to wear these socks with short skirts and lots of sexy legs. Socks are a little scary with flats or sandals. Unless you live in Byron and smoke hooch every day.
Where: Major department stores or head to Burberry, Dior or Marni next season.

Love the beige on beige, or the stone on beige however you look at it! Almost detest the socks and devine shoes…. The situation is… Finally slimming wedge, no unflattering ankle strap shoes are in fashion, however some super slender model makes them look amazing with thick hideous socks! I love the recommendations but this is distressing. X
Don’t worry it’s all about adapting to your own look ! The FiFi Reports, you decide !
P.s they’re not thick hideous socks thin (hideous) socks!
I cannot get enough of this look! And Natice is right — the tone-on-tone is a big part of the appeal.
