Socks fulfill a pretty simple function: they warm our feet. Well, especially since the start of this spring/summer season, there is another feature to consider. Thanks to socks, it has never been so easy to transform an outfit into a real eye-catcher. We definitely don’t want to miss out on this chance!
Exciting Socks
Actually, I have been waiting for a while until the right point of time for this post. If you follow me on Instagram @carmitive, you might have noticed my preference for fancy socks. Since they are very high up in the top 10 of this season’s spring/summer trends, this article arrives at the right time. Basically, there is nothing new about colorful socks. At least we remember them of our childhood, when the day was not fulfilled without any pink princess or horse socks. So why should we exchange the multicolored companions for our feet with unspectacular versions in black, grey and white, if they have always made us happy? There is nothing bad about channeling your inner child from time to time anyway. Probably, this was also the thought of designers like Alessandro Michele at Gucci, Massimo Giorgetti at MSGM or Angela Missoni, when they completed their spring/summer outfits with eye-catching socks.
The Allrounders
Whether you prefer them with ruffles, with sparkling hems or with stripes – thanks to those collections, the socks can be find in all kinds of variations. On one hand, this makes everything even more exciting. On the other hand, there is a pair for every style. Luckily, we cannot wear them with sneakers only. Actually, they stand out even more by combining them with pumps or sandals. Of course, you might get used to this rather special combo first. However, since this month’s motto is all about stepping outside the comfort zone, the trend comes in very handy. Sooner or later, you will realize how socks and high heels work perfectly together – it’s comfortable and your feet will definitely not freeze anymore.
Good Vibes For Your Feet
Ultimately, here is what to keep in mind: the trendy companions may make up a rather small part of the whole outfit but they still have a great effect. For example, you can add in a contrast by pairing some ruffled socks with a clean white shirt, checked pants and a baseball cap. This means in terms of the socks, the positive spring vibes are about to be spread. In the end, it is likely that this mood will hold on for even more seasons. At least every child knows that good humor never gets out of style.
