Knee Highs
By Melissa Chor. Filed in Spring Summer Trend 2010 |
One of the spring/summer 2010 trends is knee high or over the knee socks. In the fashion world, there are no rules. While I encourage people to be more bold and adventurous in expressing their personalities through their dressing styles, this is one trend that I foresee will become a major faux pas if not worn correctly. So let me share some pointers on how to add this fashion statement to your wardrobe. Knee high socks will add width and bulk to an already bulky thigh, so choose them in light weight material and below the knee style to give a slimming effect. If you live in colder climate, you can do layering i.e. tights over socks over knee high boots. If you are petite and below 5′ 2″, show some skin to elongate legs by pairing knee high socks with short skirts (see photo) or hot pants which is very trendy now. Dark colours always give a slimming effect. For an edgy look, wear fishnet stockings with knee high socks and ankle boots.
