Every season designers must come up with a new or revised way to style it up. I am sure that you all remember the bare leg craze a few years ago that dictated that the only acceptable way to don your favorite open-toes was suffering through it with naked gams… Luckily though this past season thick, opaque tights in various colors were the de rigour way to don your favorite chunky sandals - and I don’t know about you, but I certainly breathed a sigh of relief when I could wear a cute mini number without freezing my keister off in the fall/winter. The other leg craze of the moment is of course the legging or footless tight – these must-haves are still going strong and will carry through spring… But, there is a new trend emerging for spring in the leg/foot department that I am still on the fence about, so I thought I might get some of my dear readers’ opinions on the matter…
Perhaps you have been nosing through some fashion glossies lately and have noted yourself that there are an awful lot of ankle socks being featured with chunky open-toe platforms worn with mini dresses, skirts, and jackets. The designer who worked this new look a lot on the catwalk was Burberry Porsum featured to the left. You’ll note the socks are a darker neutral with the shoe and jacket a tad more matchy-match.
So what do you think? Are these socklets better suited for the runway and the avante garde fashion layouts for mags like Vogue, Elle, Bazaar, ETC… Or are you willing to pull ‘em on for a different look? HMMMM????

I think they look like when grandpa wears tube socks with his slippers. All she needs to do is replace the coat with a faded brown robe!
I couldn’t agree more!! It also seems like unless u have model legs the socks will make u look shorter!!! I think this look should stay on the runway!!
