Knee socks are trending for the upcoming fall season. This girlish accessory is delightfully reminiscent of the 90’s most notably as Cher Horowitz’s staple item. Stars such as Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Ming Xi, Ariana Grande, and recently Cara Delevingne have been seen sporting them.
Orla Kiely featured knee socks in her Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Other brands have caught on too. For instance, ASOS, American Apparel, H&M, Forever 21, and Topshop are already offering up collections of knee socks as well as over-the-knee socks.
Knee socks are a chic alternative to black tights for when it gets chilly in the upcoming months. When buying the socks it is crucial to purchase the correct size because when worn properly they can really accentuate legs. It is also important to consider what they’re being paired with because at times knee socks can look too extreme on the school-girl spectrum.
Knee socks can also be worn over leggings or tights to keep extra warm as well as with thigh-high boots and open toed heels and pumps. They may even be slouched down with ankle boots. These socks are a perfect way to transition out of summer styles as the temperature drops.
