Hot or Not: Socks With Heels
By Denise@Lovelyish
Now here's a trend that's a little ahead of me: ankle socks with high heels. Maybe it's because my overall style isn't feminine enough to accommodate them, maybe it's because I don't like wearing heels that often anyway, or maybe it's because I'm just not that fashion-forward, but despite the trend's retro, Wizard of Oz-esque appeal, I can't see myself going all Dorothy/Blair Waldorf with the socks and heels.
Still, I said the same thing about skinny jeans, and they're all I wear now...so give or take a couple of months (and warmer temperatures), I might just change my mind.
What's your take, Lovelyish readers? Ankle socks with heels - hot or not?

I wear ankle socks with heel occasionally, but it must suit the outfit and socks like in picture two are really cute with heels, while I don't like the combination of socks and dress in the first picture at all.
I think there's a right and wrong way to do it. Most of the time though, I think it just looks goofy.
@TornadoChaser@momaroo - I say the same.
i think its kinda cool cuz' it gives you the edgy look...
Not.
So not.
not!!! it looks weird..for me
me no like it.
N.O.T
Reminds me of socks and sandals >_> Looks so weird.
I think it looks cute on models but on anyone under 5.8" it just truncates your look...
I think the danger is to come off looking like an 8-year-old.
I'm sure some people can pull it off, but I'm not one of them.
Definitely not.
Ick.
1987 called and they want their heels with socks back.
I'm not liking it.
Depends on the way you do it and the look you're going for. Personally, I probably never would. (I don't do the skinny jeans thing, either -- I think they look ridiculous.)
very not.
its brings back the little girl / 80s looks that went out of style for a reason in the first place.
If you match your heels with the right colour of socks and the right kind, it would be fine. This trend was hot in Hong Kong a few years ago. So someone had done it before.
hot.
Not hot. No matter how hot you are. Not hot at all.Â
depends
i think if you're below the age of five, no one's going to mind. but after the age of five... you'll look like one of those creepers on Law and Order SVU.
No, thank you!
Depends. with cutesy high heels, and a frilly sock, I like it! Anything else...not so much. It gives that japanese gothic/elegant/lolita look, and I love it!
It probably depends on how thick or thin your ankles are if it would look good. Personally it makes me feel like a little kid so I prefer knee or thigh highs.
