A couple of weeks ago I decided to experiment with socks.
https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....s-in-socks
I added two longer pairs of sports socks and had fun with a couple of pairs I already owned. Given it is still winter dresses with socks are still a bit too cold.
Four attempts
- Socks with cropped jeans. Subtle and something I would do anyway.
- Long sports socks like the teens. The pink socks were worn with bike shorts. It was not a specially flattering look (Princess Diana could do it) but I might repeat at some stage. I didn't show the full length shot. The other shot is more of a riff off the Hayley Bieber gym look. I borrowed a jacket for the shot (I was going to yoga).
- Socks with sneakers and cords. Pretty 1970s with my Bruce tee and denim jacket. The cords look too small in this photo - they are a bit too short but they are actually a good fit in reality. I would have worn this in 1979 except with an Olivia Newton John tee rather than Bruce (not that I owned an ONJ tee...)
It's an easy way to have fun with fashion. From a flattery perspective short or no show socks lengthen the leg and provide more structure - but I am not always putting flattery at the top of my list any more.
Thanks for reading.
(Yes I need a haircut and colour - Monday!)
