Let's Talk About Socks

Not just for your sweaty foot.

It’s Laundry Day and surprising to nobody I own a lot of socks.

I have a huge drawer of socks and I’m not apologizing for it. Socks are the forgotten accessories. The item we lose in the dryer or under the couch. The item we forget can add so much to our look. I love socks in the winter for the obvious reasons of keeping my feet warm but also the sneaky color or pattern you see under my pants or peaking out from my boots. I also love socks when the weather gets nicer and I want to start adjusting my feet and legs back to normal interaction with society. Socks are a great way to add a little extra interest to your look and your shoes. So don’t be afraid to style them in a non-traditional way. From tube socks to patterns to nylon, so many companies offer tons of options for you to play with. Here are just a few ideas.

Kule. The tube sock with a friendly face. Kule is the pace to go for the fun, don’t take myself-too-seriously, sock. She has great patterns, funny faces and sayings like my favorite Oh Sh*T all on the classic white tube sock. Her socks look great with a sneaker and shorts or a short skirt or even with a heel. I love pairing these with a girly shoe and skirt for a high-low vibe. The trick to getting the tube sock to not bunch at the narrow point of the toe is to fold the sock seams slightly under you foot.

Here are a few other tube socks I love.Amazon HuckBerry Pendleton Free People

Gucci These logo beauties were a gift and I love the retro vibe of them and the color brown. I love pairing these with a slim black pant or legging and yanking them all the way up, add a sexy pointed heel and I am singing “You’re The One That I Want” from Grease. Black and brown are great colors together so don’t be afraid to play. Here are are other brown socks I love for you to add to the mix. NIKE Canoe Club Pretty Little Things Ganni ColorPatterns

RHUDE Ok, yes another tube sock but I just love the graphic nature of this one and I love most things in this line designed by Rhuigi Villaseñ. I wear these socks with my slippers and my sparkly heels, I don’t discriminate. Here are a few others like this I love. RHUDE RHUDE MOTHER Saturdays NYC MOTHER Lucky Honey

Nylon I love a sexy nylon sock, black or any color. These type of socks are an easy upgrade to any look or shoe. Wear with these socks under pants, or any bottom of your choice. Pair with heels, a loafer, flat or try a classic sneaker. I love the elegance and the lazy way to get style fast. So many companies now offer these types of socks for endless options to fill your sock drawer. I love taking a heel that has an ankle strap and wrapping its around the sock so that it looks like the sock is almost part of the shoe. Or pairing a bright color with a similar color shoe for a tonal look. Be sure to hang dry any nylon socks after washing. Here are a few other options I love.

UPS Are these weird? Maybe, but I love them and that is all I have to say on that. I love a good ankle sock which provides a better leg, skirt, dress or short proportion. Here are some other ankle socks I love. SeeVees Madewell Sweaty Betty Gucci

Metallic. Who doesn’t love a little extra shine at their toes? A metallic or foil sock is another great way to add interest to your feet game. These type of socks come in fun colors and look great with sneakers, heels and flats and are not just reserved for the holidays so try them in your regular rotation. Here are a few others I love.
