They've been slowly creeping onto the scene for the last season or so and have been all over the catwalks at the recent fashion weeks. You heard it here folks - it's time to begrudgingly fold away the leggings ("but they were so comfy and versatile!") and pull out the long socks, or short socks if you feel brave enough!
Take a glance at the recent spring/summer 2008 shows and you would be forgiven for thinking that strappy heels are no longer possible without a pair of socks to accompany them. Don't be scared, we're not talking Uncle Alf in a pair of sandals and white tube socks style, we're talking peep toe heels with a pair of lacy ankle socks. Or, shoe boots with a pair of over-the-knee socks to keep out the chill (e.g. Sarah Jessica Parker pictured above, rocking them out in the new SATC movie!)
