How To Wear The Knee High Sock

One minute I’m in mini dresses and last year’s grass-stained white canvas trainers and the next I’m back in jeans and a leather jacket, cowering from the wind and rain. With current temperatures certainly not living up to the non-stop sunshine of last summer, I thought I’d share a style hack that I’ve been sporting recently for those in-betweeny temps - the knee high sock.

Running the risk of sounding like a cliche American stylist from a 90s sitcom, "they go with everything." Dresses, skirts, shorts, you name it, the knee high sock is your unexpected hosiery-hero.

My love for the knee high sock (well, renewed love - we all wore them at some point during Britney’s ‘Baby One More Time’ heyday, right?) began back in winter thanks to Pinterest. My feed is always full of sixties imagery and I started to be drawn to outfits featuring mini lengths and knee high socks. I made a mental note to try this come spring and this is how I’ve been styling the knee high sock.
