Fashion Trends - Winter 2009 @ 9:42 AM
Knee High Socks
I'm loving the current trend of knee high socks. I think they add a little sass to any outfit. My favorite thing to pair them with right now is a high waist flouncy skirt. What you should
not pair them with? Shorts. I have not yet seen a knee high sock and shorts combo that doesn't make you look like a German school boy.
From
fashionising, they tell us that if you're short (like me!), knee high socks that cut off below the knee should be paired with a shorter skirt to expose more leg. The hem should not go below the middle of your thigh. This, I have a bit of fashion issues with. If you're short, aren't you supposed to take away attention from the lower part of your legs and calf? I would think that knee socks that go just above your knee would be better.
Fashionising also tells us not to be afraid to layer! Layering is one of my biggest fashion hurdles; I never know what to put together.
What shoes can you pair them with? Any! I've seen them paired with oxfords, heels, flats. I even saw a girl rock them with a pair of sneakers. Endless options!
