Summer is already over and the rainy season is slowly introducing us to the cold season. It is precisely during the transition that items of clothing typical of one season or the other can be combined with one another. A fad or trend that appears again and is soon over is over-the-knee stockings and knee-high socks combined with shorts or a skirt and pulled up confidently.
In 2015, wearing socks with sandals was particularly popular among the flamboyant or sporty people. The trend was received in the opposite direction and, apart from the stage and catwalk, was only worn by fashionistas. This is characterized by glitter socks or those with eye-catching motifs made of fine material in high heels or sandals. The sophisticated tone-on-tone combination with strappy sandals - socks or over-the-knee stockings in the same color as the shoe are considered stylish.
The singer Taylor Swift is in love with the trend pieces. She loves wearing girly clothes with a bit of college look flair. These include knee-high socks and lace-up shoes. She prefers dark pastel colors that suit her individual style very well.ShoesShe always combines socks and socks in the same color and, if possible, in the same tone.
Singers Rihanna and Beyonce like it distinctive and do not remain indifferent to the sock trend. Although they stick to the tone-on-tone principle and rely on neutral black, they provoke with short dresses with animal prints. Rihanna goes a little further and has chosen over-the-knee stockings with red toes, which catch the eye because of the shoes that are open at the front. Hardly anyone was surprised by her look, as she has had her own collection of socks at Puma for several years.
In the picture you can see trend pieces from Rihanna's last collection for the sports brand Puma. She puts together sporty elements such as wristbands, striped socks, and girlish accents such as ruffles, fluffy sandals and flowing, semi-transparent fabrics.
A few years ago, Sarah Jessica Parker wore a mini skirt with floral motifs and gray over-the-knee stockings in one of the scenes in the episode 'S*x & The City'. She cleverly combined these with peep toe booties in khaki color. Although it is not a tone-on-tone look, the two muted colors go very well together and create a color harmony.
Other stars also like to wear over-the-knee stockings and just show how multi-faceted they actually are. At Vanessa Hudgens they are hardly noticeable in the over-the-knee boots made of suede. Flamboyant singer Katty Perry likes eye-catching combinations and paired black stockings with heeled sandals made from patterned satin fabric.
The trend pieces can often be seen on the catwalk in one color or with a striking pattern. It works in the event of a fire, but not at all without it. Every fall/winter collection from Prada and Miu Miu includes socks made of fine knit with a diamond pattern or striped.
In Milan and Paris, the iconic fashion house presented interesting models of shoes suitable for wearing with socks. In addition, stockings made of fine knit without toes have been introduced, which can be worn wonderfully with open shoes.
But where do the trend pieces actually come from? However, they are an extended version of the striped socks typical of school uniforms and sportswear. The widely known term 'college style' comes from England or the USA and is generally characterized by a strict cut. Dressed like this, the young people appear very correct and somewhat conservative. Style elements include V-neck sweaters, pleated skirts, knee-high socks and lace-up shoes.
However, the ternd with the socks at the center is completely suitable for everyday use. Only choose muted colors that match the office look. The classics - black, white and gray - are perfect for this, but they don't catch the eye. Combine with flat lace-up shoes. The outfit - shirt, shoes, socks, is taken from men's wardrobe and, in contrast, is suitable for women who appear delicate and lovely.
A great variation of the trend that not only flatters the figure, but also appears subtle and sets an accent at the same time. Choose thin knee-high socks in the same color, for example black, as the tights and wear them over them. Combine with black high heels for optimal effect.
To visually lengthen your legs, experts recommend wearing over-the-knee stockings with knee-high boots. Choose similar colors, contrasts are not recommended and pull the stockings up 4-5 centimeters above the top edge of the shoe. Combine with shorts, mini skirt or dress.
Oversize Modeis very popular lately, but unfortunately not suitable for short women. If you are one of these and don't want to do without it, try creating a tone-on-tone outfit. Avoid contrasts that will only visually cut your figure into the wrong proportions.
Although the trend pieces do not flatter the figure of the little ladies among us, they do not have to do without the trend. Combine with platform shoes, also with heels. So that you can optimally benefit from the additional height, it is advisable to combine shoes and socks in the same color. This trick will make your leg look a lot longer.
If the weather is not so good, knee-high socks are even desirable. Tone-on-tone combinations are even suitable for the office. Very discreet in black with simple patent leather shoes or leather lace-up shoes, the look with obvious socks is considered a real classic.
Wearing knee-high or over-the-knee socks in rubber boots during the rainy season was and still is not a strange sight. However, it is quite practical and even comfortable. Approach with fashion sense even in bad weather and skillfully combine your rain boots, although they cannot be called stylish, with the rest of the outfit.
Gray mottled glitter socks in a fine knit version with black open shoes with straps are currently a top trend. So that the opposite of a stylish look does not result, experts recommend choosing classic model shoes or sandals. These must not be decorated with any additional decorative elements or ornaments. A simple outfit also goes well with this. Accents with a similar look to the stockings, for example silver jewelry or a narrow, also mottled scarf made of fine knit, will complement the chic look and make it look really harmonious.
Timberland shoes are very popular at the moment. These belong to the more sporty, youthful fashion and can therefore be combined very well with stripped variants of socks and stockings. As a top, we advise choosing a single piece, for example a dress or jumpsuit, so that your silhouette appears proportional despite the flat, chunky shoes.
Although men don't have many options for adding variety to their wardrobe, socks are always a good option. Colors and patterns are permitted only if they coordinate with the remaining parts.
