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

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!
