I recently noticed that designers and other fashion insiders have started pairing socks with heels. While it is definitely not a look for the cowardly, done right, this trend can be fun and sophisticated. I think Burberry got it right, pairing socks with heels in similar shades:
Burberry rocks the monochromatic look

These ladies also seem to have the look down. They don’t pull their socks up too high, which is very flattering (editor’s note: I have seen the look with knee-high socks, but be wary as this trend is meant to be sweet and not too sexy):
Sheer black socks and stilettos
This look also works with shorter, flowing hemlines
To try this look yourself, go for a shoe with a chunky wedge or thick platform. Look for leather, suede and wood materials, and don’t try this with espadrilles! Here are some hot shoes that would look great with the right women’s trouser sock:
Jessica Simpson's 'Garta' with black trouser socks
Sergio Rossi with tan or white trouser socks
Just remember this is already a bold trend to try, so don’t make the mistake of picking a shoe that is too loud or a sock that is too thick – regular socks won’t work! Your look could end up like this:
Don't pair a loud shoe with thick socks!
