Knee High Socks- Not just For Grandpa Anymore!

Shoes: Alexander Wang
Didn't know your grandpa was rocking runway style all those years did ya?!

Twiggy wore them in the 60's

 
Cher and her friends wore them in the movie Clueless in the 90's

Now knee high socks are back in fashion and better than ever!

Kate Moss looks chilly, good thing she has her knee socks to help keep her warm!


Is the knee high sock trend a yay or nay for you? Are you or will you be wearing knee high socks this fall? 

I like how versatile their style seems to be; you can do a countryside look wearing them with boots or wear them sweet and school girl-ish with pretty skirts or uptown runway style with shorts and bootie shoes. Or wear them over colored tights for extra warmth/fashion appeal.

The good news is that they are a pretty cheap item to add to your wardrobe, you can find most of them for under $20, or even as little as under $5!

  1. I love the black ones, they almost look like they could be boots when paired with black booties!

  2. I really like the idea of above-the-knee socks! Way less of a commitment than over the knee boots. #2 and #3 are my favorites!

  5. I think they look fantastic, they're sexy and super chic. Like you pointed out they don't cost the earth and can completely turn around an outfit.
