| Autumn/Winter 2009 - Socks with Shoes Trend | | | | This image alone was the reason for this blog - we |
| created: | | | | heart Rihanna and this image of her wearing shoes |
| | | | | with ankle socks was twittered by the Fashion Savvy |
| | | | | twitter-arty! It first reminded us of Alice and |
| The first season where we saw the fashion pack | | | | Wonderland with the 'cutesy' styling but concluded it |
| step out in socks and sandals was Autumn/Winter | | | | was more like Dorothy (we heart the Dorothy mantra!) |
| 2009. We remember seeing these first images and | | | | So will Spring Summer 2010 be the final season of the |
| thinking what a fashion statement and questioning | | | | trend that was once seen as an English faux pas - |
| whether it would continue on as a fashion trend in | | | | Unlikely.... |
| following seasons or as a fashion faux pas. Above | | | | Alexa Chung for Madewells' Autumn WInter 2010 |
| see's Fearne Cotton wearing socks with wedges in | | | | Collection |
| August 2009 and Chloe Sevigny wearing socks with | | | | |
| flat sandals at the LA Coachella festival. So what | | | | So we have reached the third potential season for the |
| happened...the trend continued.... | | | | unlikely pairing of socks & shoes (somehow it |
| Spring Summer 2010 Burberry Prorsum Collection | | | | seems an obvious pairing now we've seen it so |
| | | | | much lol). Alexa Chung has created a collection for |
| | | | | Madewell Winter 2010 collection with Chung-inspired |
| This seasons biggest shoe trend to hit the fashion | | | | pieces from long sleeved dresses with pretty peter |
| world continues to be socks and shoes. The trend has | | | | pan collars to knee length skirts but now for the |
| developed since Autumn/Winter 2009 however with | | | | shoes...As you can see from the promotional fashion |
| more statement making shoes being teamed with | | | | image above the collection includes Brogues (which |
| socks such as the above Burberry Prorsum peep toe | | | | you know we love - just look at Lois Brogue), Clogs - |
| ankle boots. We have found that the sock and shoe | | | | Alexa has been named as the patron of them this |
| 'combo' seems to be embracing the Sports Luxe trend | | | | season (keep an eye out for Kindred Sole Clogs: |
| of the season also. | | | | Coming Soon) and wooden heeled sandals. As you |
| Rihanna at Kids Choice Awards 2010 | | | | can see they have all been styled with ankle socks!! |
