Trend Alert: Socks with Heels
So it’s fall, and you have a dilemma. On the one hand, you want to wear your snazzy high heels- on the other, it’s just too cold. What do you do? If you’re these idols, you throw on a pair of socks with your heels for a whole new look! Be sure to practice walking with your socks and heels on before you head out- if your shoes don’t fit right, you can slip and fall- I’ve even seen runway models have trouble with this. It helps if your shoe fits really well and has ankle straps or some other way of staying firmly on your foot. I also wouldn’t recommend it for very wet days, as damp socks are not fun. Lets take a look at how these girls are making this look work for them!
For the November 2012 issue of ‘Ceci Magazine‘,A PinkandGirls’ Generation‘sSeohyuntried out this style. The girls of A Pink went with patterned socks and white platform pumps, while Seohyun went with pale pink fishnet socks and two-tone strappy heels.

Mary Janes and boots like these are probably a little more practical- and wearable- than some of the strappier styles other girls have been wearing.
