Getting more mileage out of your boots this season
We’re in that awkward, transitional time of year when it’s too warm to wear full-on tights, but boots can look strange on bare legs. Here’s a solution you may not have thought of: wearing knee-length socks with boots. It adds an extra element of interest to your outfit and spices up an older pair of boots.
Be forewarned that this look may not be appropriate for a workplace with a more formal dress code, but if have a more casual job, ease into the look: try a conservative dress in a neutral color with a black sock and black boots. The socks will fade into the boot and be less noticeable.
Here are some other combinations to try. I’ve used Aldo’s “Deare” boots ($100) in both examples.
- Cosy Cashmere Angora Socks, $23
- ASOS Socks, $8.73
- Missoni Socks, $66
- ASOS Contrast Socks, $8.73
- Hunter Stripe Socks, $30
- Topshop Socks, $15
- American Eagle Striped Socks, $12.50
- Hansel from Basel Socks, $32
