Wore them without socks bc it's not that cold here but I ended up with a blister. I don't like the look or feel of socks with these type of shoes and I think it makes sizing different due to the sock. So next time I will try them with no show footie socks and see how they work. Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-socks-and-mary-janes#post-1376670 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 00:44:36 +0000 Sveta 1376670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally don't like visible socks with any shoes which are not booties (there is an intentional look which Anna is an expert on of course but I think it is hard to get right for us mere mortals )<br />I use sheer knee-high socks in a color close to my skin so effect is like with the bare legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-socks-and-mary-janes#post-1376586 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 22:02:46 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1376586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rabbit. If you want a no-sock look, you could use knee-high stockings, in a nice sheer that matches your skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-socks-and-mary-janes#post-1376570 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 21:36:19 +0000 Alassë 1376570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With full-length jeans, I think a sock in the same colour would disappear against the shoe. (That's how I wear mine, at any rate.) For skirts/dresses, I wear them with same-colour tights (admittedly more girly). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-socks-and-mary-janes#post-1376551 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 21:17:48 +0000 rabbit 1376551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much depends on the vibe you are going for. &nbsp;With comfortable mary janes like these, I'd expect to see them with striped wool socks in muted tones and coordinating knitwear/scarfs/hats with the natural dye/hand knitted look. &nbsp; Or at least that's what I see when I'm shopping around&nbsp;around the bulk bins at Nature's. &nbsp;I think when going for that kind of casual look it works fine.</p> <p>Most of the time I just wear no-show socks and footies with oxfords and low vamped shoes in winter, but it can get cold going that route. &nbsp;Thermal tights are another option, or knee highs that serve the same function.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-socks-and-mary-janes#post-1376540 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:58:53 +0000 ironkurtin 1376540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can buy low socks that don't show. I own a few. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-socks-and-mary-janes#post-1376536 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:53:19 +0000 Gigi 1376536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do it. I try to wear a dark sock, but I have been known to wear white socks too. Sometimes the white socks, mary janes, and jeans can create a retro look. But I'll be interested to see what others have to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisiting-socks-and-mary-janes#post-1376518 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:13:13 +0000 Not that Angie 1376518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I own these Taos Mary Janes and I find that the elastic on the heel gives me blisters if I don't wear socks...so I'm revisiting the age-old socks and MJs question. Does wearing a casual sock (like SmartWool) with these shoes when I wear them with jeans work? Is it really just a personal preference thing? </p>
