In the recently closed New York, Paris, Milan and London Fashion Week’s a new trend was identified – socks worn with heels, sandals and boots. Many design houses are backing the trend for Spring 2010, but there’s no reason why we can’t get ahead of the curve and whip out some socks to team with our shoes for winter!
Celebs have picked up the trend super quick. I’m not a huge fan of sandals and socks (as worn by Chloe Sevigny, right), but heels and slouchy socks really do add a little something to an outfit and, as a bonus, add a little more versatility to your classically ‘summer’ shoes. Try some cute detailed socks (lace trimmed or leopard print) for a different look.
Here’s another Chloe shot, this time in socks and heels – super cute right?
And here’s another way to wear the trend, demonstrated by Fearne Cotton (below). What do you think? I think she looks pretty cute and I guess with those legs you can’t really go wrong! 
Another way to work this trend is to team your boots with long socks, which can transform last season’s style to something much more up-to-date (without having to shell out cash for a new pair of boots!) 
Lindsay Lohan has worked this look (below) and I think it’s a pretty easy way to wear the trend (and take your knee length boots to on-trend over-the-knee boots!)
The idea is to have some fun, experiment with pumps, heels, brogues, boots and a variety of socks and stockings (pop socks, lace socks, patterned socks, loose and relaxed socks…the list goes on!)
Will you be trying this trend this fall and winter?
