They ALL slide off my heels and bunch uncomfortably at the balls of my feet. They don't make socks for narrow feet. I've given up.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear nylon and silky knee-highs across neutrals. They stay put and do not move! Love them! I also wear boots/hi-tops with fleece linings so that my feet stay warm and cosy in the ice and snow.

I have not had the guts to show any socks yet, but please post when you do.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273931 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 21:42:38 +0000 Sal 2273931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks - some good advice.&nbsp; I will do what I can over the next week or so and report back with a post.&nbsp; I am trying something new today.</p> <p>I am not sure if it is for me - and whilst I think trends/fads/fashions are for anyone who wants to try it - I do wonder if this is more of a teenage trend (or some of it).&nbsp; But the fun is in taking something you already have and trying it a new way....</p> <p>Angie - I can't believe you don't wear socks!!&nbsp; What about under boots in the winter?&nbsp; I love my Smartwool socks - some are very plain and they are so cosy under boots.</p> <p>JAileen- your handknit socks are gorgeous....I do wear birks and socks to and from yoga in the winter or when lounging and then needing to go outside briefly.&nbsp; I haven't ever tried to make them stylish but this could be a challenge this week!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273903 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 16:59:13 +0000 JAileen 2273903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really need socks when it’s cold. &nbsp;If my feet or ankles are cold, I’m cold. &nbsp;I have lots of socks, with a variety of colors, patterns and thicknesses. &nbsp;Of your examples, I especially like #3. &nbsp;And for me, #5 needs hand knit socks. &nbsp;For others, machine made socks with Birkenstocks are fine, but not for me. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>1.

And I usually don't mind if they peek out of my boots a little bit. With lower shoes I don't want them to show. I did wear some rag-wool-style with birks last fall (a la #5) and felt quite fashionable so that might all be changing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273862 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 14:06:01 +0000 Angie 2273862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not wear socks unless I am lounging, but am cheering on everyone's fun sock game from the sidelines! Super cute </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273846 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 12:39:12 +0000 Indigoprint 2273846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helena fun sock anecdotal ! I have a similar one with short pants" mom no one is gonna make fun of me if my pants are too short"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273844 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 12:32:56 +0000 Helena 2273844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not have good sock game ... DD does as does DH and I love the look. I think you could definitely add this element to your amazing style Sal!!</p> <p>Aside but just recalled and it's cute: DS who has a style all his own once said when he was little, after I commented his pants were getting too short, with dramatic eyeroll: "I don't need new pants Mum that's what SOCKS are for" lol ... He spotted the sock zeitgeist in advance </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273815 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 09:21:59 +0000 Jaime 2273815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of fun socks with sandals and my kids all wear socks with everything. That said, I am not sure I have ever been tempted to do socks with sandals (except socks with birks around the house). I like it but not sure it is for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273812 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 08:32:42 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2273812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve got long legs already, so I don’t see you having any problems with some bright quirky fun peeking out at your ankles. </p> <p>In the winter I absolutely wear socks. Whether I want low contrast to lengthen my legs or high contrast tun really depends on the bottoms I’m wearing. I recently purchased some ankle socks with ruffles. I would have hated them as a little girl, was fine wearing them around Boston (where they were an emergency purchase) and on our flight, but have yet to pull them out in Berlin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273804 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 06:15:41 +0000 Bijou 2273804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On visiting Japan I become very aware of how my socks looked, because you have to take off your shoes indoors. Uniqlo is a good source for well priced and attractive socks and sneaker stores for something a bit wild. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273800 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 05:44:57 +0000 Jessikams 2273800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love socks! They’re cheap and fun. But I haven’t mastered the “new” way of wearing those pulled up athletic socks.<br /> I do like a thin sparkly sock peeking out above a boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273799 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 05:40:50 +0000 Sal 2273799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have mostly worn no show socks or black socks or sports/practical socks for recent years.&nbsp; I am going to experiment a bit even for the gym.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>You could really have fun with socks Indigoprint - your clients might find it fun...&nbsp; We have a staff member at work with a strong socks game - I often admire his choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273781 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 02:11:48 +0000 Indigoprint 2273781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun and practical for me. I provide in home service so need to remove my shoes and enter a home. I am comfortable with socks and Birkies but get stuck beyond that. I remember loving sparkley socks when I was younger so am glad to have an opportunity to re- visit them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273780 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 02:09:13 +0000 Sal 2273780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Nikki!!</p> <p>Sarah - I am not sure I could/would wear one, but I do like it.&nbsp; 3 and 5 are the most achievable and I wear birks and socks but only from a practical perspective not a style one.</p> <p>Joy - thanks - the photos aren't me - just some I found online.&nbsp; And I too am conscious of occasions when I might have to take my shoes off and what my socks/tights game is.&nbsp; Especially when wearing a skirt and tall boots..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273772 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 01:29:29 +0000 Anonymous 2273772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your sock game and the way you wear them. &nbsp; My sock become shoes when I take off outdoor shoes inside. &nbsp;It is important that they look good with the outfit. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273769 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 01:15:42 +0000 SarahD8 2273769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, interesting!</p> <p>When I first looked at #1 I wasn’t sure about it but by the time I clicked back round my eye had adjusted I guess because I quite liked it! The monochromatic effect with the socks adding some extra texture is cool.</p> <p>#5 — jeans, fun socks, and what I interpret as house shoes — is a good match for my work from home style and I’ll be doing that a lot come fall.</p> <p>Look forward to seeing your experiments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sock-game-foxes-in-socks#post-2273762 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 00:30:30 +0000 Anonymous 2273762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fully support your sock game! Great inspiration pics. I consider socks to be an awesome accessory as well as being functional.

I could be up for some socks experimentation this week.&nbsp; I am going to try a couple of outfits featuring socks in a more starring role (not just being a bit player).</p> <p>Here's some inspo for those of you wanting to feature socks?</p> <p>Thoughts?&nbsp; Can I carry it off - that is yet to be determined.</p> <p> </p>
