The first outfit post for this month of June is all about heels and socks. I love the fast pace world of fashion. Styles and trends move really fast, it is so exciting. I am feeling super confident this year, and going for riskier outfits. Outfits I won’t have even considered wearing before, I can’t wait to rock now. This outfit is one of them. I won’t have dreamt of rocking heels and socks in 2013, but I am loving the edgy, insane look (in a good way) in 2016. God knows what I would be loving in 2020. I hope this new adventurous side of me stays.
I love trying new styles and trends, to see if I can tweak it and make it my style. I have always wanted to try the heels and socks trend for as long as I can remember. I find the look so geeky and cool at the same time. The look actually reminds me of my high school days, with the heels and socks. It was kind of my uniform back then, but in different colours and design.
To create the heels and socks look, I went for this black Karen 70 Lace Knee-High socks by Solidea. It is knee-high, but I rolled mine down to show off some skin. This pair of socks is not just fashionable, it is also a compression socks. Very stylish, yet very effective. I have some holidays booked for the year, and I am looking forward to flying with this pair on.
Here is what Solidea has to say about this socks:
Lace knee-high with graduated compression. The unique pattern enhances sensuality and charm for a rich and luxurious effect. Combines with a more sober look for an outfit of great class. The preventive action of 10/15 mmHg graduated compression fights heaviness and swelling in the legs and counteracts venous insufficiency without impacting the elegant appearance and incomparable aesthetics of the lace. With Sanitized® hygienic function.
The heels and socks trend is also a smart way to stay warm on days too warm to have tights on but too chilly to go without.
Excuse the picture heavy post, I got carried away……

I absolutely adore those red shoes but you would have to be a very brave person to wear socks and shoes around here. Not exactly the fashion capital of the country in the NW! You are completely rocking that look though 🙂
Thanks Helen xo
It’s always good to step out of your comfort zone
Yea it is Elle x
They’re really nice subtle socks and usually I don’t think they work with heels but these look quite good x
Thanks Rhian x
I love those red heels! Beautiful! Don’t think I could pull off the heels and socks look though however working in a lab I’ve often had to wear socks with ballet pumps.
Thanks Sarahjane.
I’m not convinced I could get away with socks and heels but they look fab on you. The heels are really gorgeous x

Thanks John.
It looks fab on you Stella. Not sure if I could get away with that now, being a bit older, especially as I don’t really do heels cos of health issues. I like quirky and rocking. However I know when something doesn’t suit not to do it. You look fab as ever from head to toe. Oh and I love your hair with the different colours too. Go gal
Thank you xo
Love how you’ve styled the dress with those red shoes.

I never wear heels with socks but these red heels and black socks work so well together, great look x

I love socks with heels but haven’t been brave enough to go for it yet! I think it can make an outfit look more casual than bare legs with heels. Well done for being brave … you look great!
Thank you xo
The whole outfit is beautiful. I love those heels and the socks but don’t think I am brave enough to put them on.lol. But you really rock the whole thing put together
Thanks Osime. Just seeing this.
Lovely outfit. This could be a date outfit.

I have to wear compression socks when I fly and had no idea you could get good looking ones!! They so beat the ones you get in the airport! Will be getting some if these!
Hope you got them!
Wow your hair and those shoes go well together. I wish I could pull off socks and shoes but I worry I’d look stupid, although you’ve done it amazingly! x
Thanks Olivia.
