1. Wear mesh socks for romantic dreamy vibes

Well, it’s your sign to try out mesh socks!

I grabbed some super affordable pairs with subtle dots and sparkles from Amazon, expecting nothing special, but they turned out surprisingly nice.

They work with everything from party looks to romantic dresses.

No need to overthink it – match the sock color to your heels for a cohesive look, or go for something delicate with tiny patterns if you’re worried about being too bold.

It’s a fun refresh that doesn’t require buying new shoes!

2. Wear socks with the same tone for a polished look

Alright, if mesh socks aren’t your thing, what about the monotone combo?

Wearing complementary or similar-hued socks just perfectly add a layer to your shoes and makes them a statement piece.

A little reminder: don’t wear your top or bottom with too many patterns.

After all, it can look a bit tacky if you have too many statement pieces in one outfit.

I adore this styling so much as the socks can truly change the whole vibe of the shoes.

If you want to turn your sexy white string heels into sporty ones, all you need to do is wear a pair of Nike socks!

My other favorite pairing is red velvet socks with my dark purple heels for the autumn look!

3. Get a lowkey look by only showing part of the socks

You may not believe it, but actually, someone asked ‘How do I wear high heels with socks without standing out?’ on Quora.

For those ladies, my advice is to keep them lowkey in your boots!

When I first styled my shoes with socks, I paired them with ankle boots so I wouldn’t feel that awkward.

After all, less is more. It’s stylish to just show a part of the socks to spice up your outfit a little bit.

If you want a soft and feminine look, pairing your beige ankle boots with nice wool creamy socks is a no-fail combination.

If you want to get a bit bolder, pairing your black boots with dotted socks can bring some creativity to your outfit as well.

Last but not least, for a practical reason, let’s not forget this can make our legs look much warmer during wintertime!

Ladies, try them out!

Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. ❤️

4. Have a sexy high heel look with fishnet socks

For those days you want to be bold and look sexy, fishnet socks are your best friend indeed.

While there are different colors of fishnet socks, I will stay away from bright colors like red as I think it can easily look tacky.

I always style the black heels with black fishnet socks for a classy yet sexy look.

If you haven’t tried the fishnet socks before, you can always start with the fishnet with higher density (i.e. smaller diamond holes) so the fishnet socks will look less obvious.

If you want to add a sense of womanliness to your outfit, fishnet socks are a no-brainer!


❤️Girl’s fashion hack #4:

Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol

5. Wear ruffle socks for a sweet vintage look

If you are wondering if can you turn Dr. Martens boots into something girly, my answer is YES if you style them with the right pair of socks!

Before you attend the vintage party and wonder if should you buy a pair of old-school round-toe T-stripe heels, let’s try to pair the socks first.

Style your chic pink combat boots with lace ruffle socks can easily obtain a vintage cute look.

If you want to add some spice to your brown-tone outfit, it will be always fun to add a bright pop of red to make it a statement.

My favorite lazy Sunday look is to wear the white oversize hoodie dress with white sneakers and pair it with lavender socks – I can’t feel any younger!

Honestly, there are no rules when it comes to shoe and heel pairing if you wear it with confidence!

But ladies please don’t pair shoes with no-show socks… let’s not do that…

FINAL THOUGHTS:

So ladies, here are the 6 styles when it comes to wearing socks with heels! Let’s have a quick checklist first.
