Spring Summer 2010 Trends: Socks With Shoes By Designers And Celebrities Alike

Autumn/Winter 2009 – Socks with Shoes Trend created:
 
 

The first season where we saw the fashion pack step out in socks and sandals was Autumn/Winter 2009. We remember seeing these first images and thinking what a fashion statement and questioning whether it would continue on as a fashion trend in following seasons or as a fashion faux pas. Above see’s Fearne Cotton wearing socks with wedges in August 2009 and Chloe Sevigny wearing socks with flat sandals at the LA Coachella festival. So what happened…the trend continued….

Spring Summer 2010 Burberry Prorsum Collection

 
 

This seasons biggest shoe trend to hit the fashion world continues to be socks and shoes. The trend has developed since Autumn/Winter 2009 however with more statement making shoes being teamed with socks such as the above Burberry Prorsum peep toe ankle boots. We have found that the sock and shoe ‘combo’ seems to be embracing the Sports Luxe trend of the season also.

Rihanna at Kids Choice Awards 2010

This image alone was the reason for this blog – we heart Rihanna and this image of her wearing shoes with ankle socks was twittered by the Fashion Savvy twitter-arty! It first reminded us of Alice and Wonderland with the ‘cutesy’ styling but concluded it was more like Dorothy (we heart the Dorothy mantra!) So will Spring Summer 2010 be the final season of the trend that was once seen as an English faux pas – Unlikely….

Alexa Chung for Madewells’ Autumn WInter 2010 Collection

So we have reached the third potential season for the unlikely pairing of socks & shoes (somehow it seems an obvious pairing now we’ve seen it so much lol). Alexa Chung has created a collection for Madewell Winter 2010 collection with Chung-inspired pieces from long sleeved dresses with pretty peter pan collars to knee length skirts but now for the shoes…As you can see from the promotional fashion image above the collection includes Brogues (which you know we love – just look at Lois Brogue), Clogs – Alexa has been named as the patron of them this season (keep an eye out for Kindred Sole Clogs: Coming Soon) and wooden heeled sandals. As you can see they have all been styled with ankle socks!!

So I don’t think we need to investigate this trend any further – Socks with Shoes - GO FOR IT!!
