Sock Hop at Paris Fashion Week
Yet another trend to emerge from the audience at Paris Fashion Week: ankle socks. This has been a signature of top stylist Alex White for some time. (Last month she styled the entire Oscar de la Renta show with socks.) It makes any outfit appear more youthful and more quirky. For Fall we see boots and booties with trompe l’oeil sock effects, particularly the coveted Miu Miu glitter bootie, so our eyes are already adjusting to the way a sock defines the leg. The natural next step is to wear actual socks. And work those calves.

These turned heads. -
Her whole outfit was photographer bait. -
Black on black almost reads as a bootie. -
Borrowing from the boys, who often wear socks for a playful hint of color under trousers. -
And yes, even with open-toed shoes. Rules change.
