Happy Friday!
I was sorting through the Fashion Bomb Daily archives and I noticed that it’s been a while since we’ve done a Rock It! or Knock It? feature! Personally, I’ve always loved these types of posts – it gives me an opportunity to see what our readers really think of the questionable trends circulating the ‘net. It’s always enlightening, lol.
So, with that said, in this edition we’re focusing on the socks and heels trend. Now, I’m a little hesitant to call it a “trend” but I believe it’s just one of things that requires a fearless approach to fashion and an impressive amount of confidence. Do you agree?!
Let’s take a closer look!
Recently, our girl Rihanna rocked her version of this trend while enjoying a night out! The style icon paired her very own Stance x Rihanna White Frostbite Socks with a Fendi Pink Lambskin Cocktail Dress and Isabel Marant Etoile Gilby pumps. Slay on!
In contrast to RiRi’s take, fashion stylist/blogger Al Malonga of Wardrobe Breakdown kept her layered ‘fit consistent by pairing burgundy socks with her black cutout booties. Perfect for winter, no?
This trend is also hot on the the concrete catwalk! This style maven chose the bold route as she donned a cobalt blue sweatshirt, black/white plaid pants and red ankle strap platforms. She also adds a bit of playfulness to her look by incorporating white frilly socks.
And, let’s not forget the real runway! Endless designers have featured the socks and heels mix including Bottega Veneta, Edun and Suno (pictured above). In this case, the fashion house went for printed socks and statement heels.
To round things off, this street style star was cold-weather ready as she paired her ankle strap heels and socks with a pleated skirt and a chunky knit. Her cat-eye stunners also inject a bit of pizzazz into her frock! (And, I’m completely lusting over her furry accent.) Yes!
