Cosy and warm socks can be an integral part of your Autumn and Winter outfits. Instead of hiding them under bottoms and in footwear, show them off. Socks can be a bold statement, or make a more subtle appearance. These outfits feature socks in outfits in relatable ways. The last outfit might be a stretch, but inspirational nonetheless. Use the combination of items in the outfit as a guide, and substitute your own colour palettes.

1. Cropped Pants and Loafers

In order to feature the socks, your bottoms need to showcase some ankle. You can showcase some ankle by rolling the hems of jeans, or sporting cuffed jeans and pants, or wearing cropped bottoms. Here, a pair of barrel shaped black bottoms is combined with a gingerbread pullover. It’s topped with a burgundy coat, mustard scarf and bordeaux loafers. Interestingly, the visible socks are a shade of olive, which gels well with the mustard and gingerbread despite their mismatch. Alternatively, you could match them to the earth tones or burgundies in the outfit.

2. Casual Skirt and Booties

A casual flared denim skirt is paired with a multi-coloured plaid shirt. A cinnamon and cream pullover tops the pairing. Black booties are the next mismatched addition. Short forest green socks peek out from above the tops of the boots. They match the bits of green in the plaid shirt. It’s a subtle match and a subtle appearance of visible socks, which might be more your cup of tea.

3. Clogs

A pair of cropped black barrel jeans is combined with a cinnamon turtleneck. A burgundy quilted jacket tops the combination. Whisky clogs with tan heels are the shoes of choice leaving a whole lot of sock exposure. Cinnamon and tan socks that match the turtleneck and heels of the clogs are a smashing choice. A teal wool hat is a fun mismatched addition.

4. Mishmash

This outfit remixes preppy fabness with ‘70s glam and a bit of athleisure. A blue and white shirt is worn under a burgundy and light blue argyle pullover. That pairing is combined with a pair of burgundy sweat pants. A big burgundy coat with toffee trim tops the lot. Black and animal print loafers match the model’s hair and the trim of the coat. Bold socks in a mismatched argyle are the statement making cherry on top. They’ve been scrunched for a dramatic effect, but you can wear them pulled up and under the pants. The burgundy and toffee in the sock argyle marries them to the rest of the outfit. Add jewellery, watch, handbag, and eyewear as desired.
