We’ve been talking a lot about skirts lately (be it midi, pencil, pleated or column).

I’m now going to take it one step further by suggesting you team a pair of socks with a classic pump and one of these aforementioned skirts…

Yes, I’m serious. Hear me out – it’s really not such a crazy idea. I’m not talking sport, chunky-knitted or novelty print socks (I don’t think we’ll ever be talking about those ones here). I mean slim fitting, mid-calf length socks in darker tones – the dress sock.

Pop them on where before you’d have worn a black opaque tight, for that perfect sexy-meets-preppy vibe.
