As we start to (or pretend we’re starting to?) transition into spring, I have decided that socks in shoes are going to be my BFF! Have you ever tried the look?? It’s quirky and totally weird but SO fun, and can work for all sorts of occasions, from work to night’s out to your weekend kicks. Today I put together seven of my fave pairings and my tips for how to wear ’em!
No. 1 Go Bold (Above)
Choose a bold pattern and pair them with straight leg jeans or trousers!
Jeans | Black + White Grid Socks | Peach V-Cut Pumps
(p.s. Check our v-cut shoe round up here!)
Perfect for: Casual Friday
No. 2 Check the Kid’s Section
Kids have the cutest socks and depending on your shoe size (I’m an 8.5!) you can often fit into the larger sizes. Pair ’em with oxfords for a throwback to school uniform days.
Tulle Skirt | Heart Socks from H&M Kids | Silver Oxfords
Perfect for: A Weekend Adventure
No. 3 Go Monochromatic
Pick one color and layer skinny jeans, ankle socks and mules!
Pink Jeans | Ankle Socks from Topshop (Similar here and here) | Mules
Perfect for: A Networking Event
No. 4 Say Yes to Ruffles
We ALL had these socks as kids! Re-live your childhood but with a cute pair of (velvet) heels!
Ruffle Socks | Velvet Heels
Perfect For: A Night Out
No. 5 Go Old School
Pair athletic socks with something unexpected, like jellies or platforms!
Striped Athletic Socks | White Jelly Shoes
Perfect For: A Post-Workout Lazy Day
No. 6 Let Your Toes Show!
Pair a sock that has a colorful toe with an open-toed sandal!
Egg Socks | Blue Sandals from Topshop
Perfect For: Brunch with your Gal Pals

No. 7 Scrunch ’em Up!
Choose a taller pair and scrunch ’em up for that whole “effortless-except-LOOK-at-my-effort” look! 😉

Perfect For: Mondays

I’m definitely a fan of the monochromatic look, mostly because you don’t have to be that brave to wear it haha

I love the pink mules and egg socks!
Kelly says
The egg socks are EVERYTHING aren’t they!? I’m in love with them.
Kristina B says
I can’t pick! But probably the fold-down socks with the velvet heels. I love this look and always have since Carrie Bradshaw rocked athletic knee highs and Manolos. Ahhhhh….
Kelly says
Oh Carrie Bradshaw, always so far ahead of the game! I think the ruffle ones might be my fave too.
Taylor Winkelmeyer says
YES! This is such a fun post. My absolute fave is the monochromatic look with the mules. Love love love. ♡

LOVE the first look, but the link for the grid socks leads to the jeans! I’m dying; where are they from?
Kelly says
Oops!! Just updated it!
Anna says
LOVE the frilly ankle socks with the heels. My favorite? Yellow ankle socks with the heart paired with the Oxfords.
