I am very fussy though that they don't show above the shoe if paired with straight or skinny pants, unless they are calf or knee length!<br /> Ordinary socks are great under boots for cosiness and padding in Winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-are-ok-with-socks#post-641827 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 11:42:35 +0000 sarah 641827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly what VC and Sveta said. Plus I wear sheer (either nude or black) trouser socks with Mary Janes and ballet flats, because I live in a place where wearing socks is a must for 8 months of the year. Angie turned me on to the idea of sheer black trouser socks which I'm very thankful for.</p> <p>I have a quite a lot of angst about this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-are-ok-with-socks#post-641779 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 04:12:48 +0000 Diana 641779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Sveta, I wear socks in all shoes where you cannot see them. I also wear them under pants, or else I wear secret socks of one sort or another in my closed toe shoes (like oxfords) since they rub my toes otherwise. </p> <p>I also wear cute ankle socks or knee socks with oxfords and mary janes, although I know this is an eclectic look and not for everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-are-ok-with-socks#post-641768 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 03:37:54 +0000 Sarah A 641768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the above I think are good guidelines. I also will wear a statement sock (usually bold stripes) with Mary Jane's, although this probably isn't the norm.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-are-ok-with-socks#post-641757 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 03:12:29 +0000 Sveta 641757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear socks in all shoes you cannot see them - like boots and booties. I also wear socks with high vamp shoes like loafers and oxfords with bootcuts so they are not visible.<br /> If I have to wear socks with other styles of shoes I go for nude hose socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-are-ok-with-socks#post-641756 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 03:08:01 +0000 velvetychocolate 641756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boots, booties, high-vamp loafers/shoes. In general - if the pant leg covers the top of the shoe while standing, then I think socks are ok, provided they're in the same colour family as the shoe/pant-leg. </p> <p>I might be totally wrong about this, but this is the general idea. For instance, I might wear some booties with a pair of bootcut or flare jeans, and as long as the socks are the same colour as the boots/booties or the pants, then it's all good. I would only wear socks with flats if they are the high-vamp kind and with pants that are PPL - where the socks wouldn't really show, unless you just happened to cross your legs while sitting or something. </p> <p>Does that make sense? </p> <p>Curious to see what other YLF'ers have to say on the topic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-are-ok-with-socks#post-641752 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 03:02:19 +0000 Julie 641752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear socks in my boots, all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-shoes-are-ok-with-socks#post-641751 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 03:01:33 +0000 qfbrenda 641751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there a general rule of thumb? Maybe ones that are high vamp? A friend is asking me about what shoes are ok with socks, specifically between flats and clogs, and yet not sneakers. Boots? Loafers? </p> <p>I'm sure the answer is around the forum somewhere but I didn't find much when I did a search. </p>
