Burberry Shows How to Wear Socks With Heels

I am loving wearing socks with heels. You have seen the look in lots of Ads and such, but it was Burberry Prorsum’s spring Ads as well as their catwalk that really burned it into my mind.

How do you pull it off? Well, I like doing the black heel with the matching black socks, but you can use shoes with color as well. Now you can use open-toe or closed-toe heels, but when you do the open-toe make sure it has an ankle strap, other wise it will look unattractive and your socked foot won’t stay in your heel anyways.

When you do the closed-toe or peep-toe, I think the most stylish way to go is with a heeled bootie or the modern version of the grandma heel. Gucci has a fab pink and black grandma shoe that I would love to pair with some black socks. It’s a good way to use color too.

Now the type of sock to wear is available at any department store and resembles a man’s dress sock. It has to be thin enough to fit in your heel, but thick enough to NOT be see-thru. Make sure it is a quality sock. It should stop on your leg about four inches above your anklebone.

Lastly, wear it with a short dress or some fancy shorts. Burberry did a pretty good job with half the outfits they sent down the runway. I just wish they didn't ruin them with those sunglasses.
