This look takes some experimenting around.</p> <p> @Jules: I have chunky oxfords; black toddler style ones and green ones and red ones. Might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335665 Sun, 20 Aug 2023 19:05:05 +0000 Anonymous 2335665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>90F Jamie?? I'm on team sandals once it hits 60 :)<br /> Come visit me Donna- it's 80+ more than half the year here!<br /> I like the socks more with the oxfords, since to me socks are just for cold weather, but socks + pool slide sandals is something I see a lot here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335663 Sun, 20 Aug 2023 18:48:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2335663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're going to rock this trend. I like the look of these socks, especially with the oxfords. It sounds like you are homing in on what to look for in socks to wear this way, so that you are comfortable with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335602 Sun, 20 Aug 2023 11:52:10 +0000 Jules 2335602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay socks! So happy they’re back in style (the whole bare ankle thing being especially galling in a Canadian climate). </p> <p>I love the look with the sandals so much that if it were me I’d go out and buy warmer socks specifically for this outfit. Why not, if you can make use of existing pieces and in such a practical way for your comfort? But I do hear you on socks not socking, it’s frustrating when they don’t stay up.</p> <p>I like the Oxford look less, I think it calls for a chunkier shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335547 Sun, 20 Aug 2023 01:07:17 +0000 Irina 2335547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, looks adorable and trendy :)<br />I would look for shorter socks, though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335544 Sun, 20 Aug 2023 00:48:58 +0000 Jaime 2335544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But it looks cute! Sandals are for 90F+ in my book anyway . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335537 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 23:39:36 +0000 DonnaF 2335537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jenni NZ: Yes, socks are folded down and are probably called bobby socks.</p> <p>@Angie: I haven't owned black ankle boots in years; I just have combat boots. I folded down my socks to my desired height. You're right, I'm pretty sure I've had them since the '80s.</p> <p>So this exercise reminded me why I mostly stopped wearing these yellow socks beyond their slightly-too-light-for-my-taste yellow. Their looseness! I think they would be great for slugging (?), when you slather on the lotion/cream and then encase your feet in socks before you go to bed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335509 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 19:53:30 +0000 kkards 2335509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve given up on cotton socks. I either wear nylon/stretch socks or wool. They usually fit better and are generally warmer.<br /> Anyway love the pop of color these socks give this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335484 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 18:04:05 +0000 slim cat 2335484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks adorable - sorry for the imperfect socks ( still fab look )! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335480 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 17:35:38 +0000 Val MN 2335480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yellow socks look great with black denim. Too bad about the unforeseen technical difficulties. Staying tuned for the polka dot version! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335467 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 15:04:53 +0000 LJP 2335467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really cute ! I love it with the platform sandals - but I hear you with the slippery factor . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335466 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 14:54:31 +0000 Helena 2335466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love!

They were a cousin to our leg warmers. I wore them. You could even buy them bunched, and they had a name! They were called "shuffle socks".&nbsp;</p> <p>Just saying </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335460 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 13:30:01 +0000 Indigoprint 2335460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a good look for you. Keep searching for the right sock.&nbsp; Maybe one with a little compression as in my experience they stay put pretty well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335455 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 11:50:43 +0000 Dee 2335455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn bunching socks, otherwise they look rather fun on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335448 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 07:03:50 +0000 Star (Lise) 2335448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like number 2.&nbsp; Not too bunchy to my eye.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335442 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 03:30:44 +0000 Angie 2335442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are adorable </p> <p>You wear this look with ease, comfort and a whole lot of spunk! I like the height of the socks. Do you wish they were higher or lower? </p> <p>Also, for warmth, try black ankle boots with the socks, maybe. Might be more comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335441 Sat, 19 Aug 2023 03:21:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 2335441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of them with the Oxfords! Cute. I can’t see if you have them folded down like “bobby socks”? If I have the correct terminology? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-yellow-socks-dress#post-2335432 Fri, 18 Aug 2023 23:37:00 +0000 DonnaF 2335432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My feet have Raynaud’s and are chronically cold so I can usually only wear true sandals when temperatures are in the 80s — which rarely happens where I live. I love this 100% cotton stiff denim dress, but the wide sleeves make toppers difficult. Today is in the low 70s so I thought I would give the sock idea a whirl so I can get more wear out of my sandals.</p> <p>What I learned: 100% cotton socks slip around. They also don’t provide sufficient warmth for me with sandals. I am headed in a few minutes to try on my oxfords. Getting the sock height is tricky. </p> <p>On Sunday, I plan to try my stretchy polka dot socks with a different pair of sandals and a different heavy denim dress.</p> <p>ETA: Now with oxfords. I hate the bunching socks. Nothing ventured; nothing gained. </p>
