Are we ready for statement socks to be the boldest accessory of the season?

Statement socks are the next investment you should make in your wardrobe. During the fashion month, I couldn’t stop staring at the feet of models. I was mesmerised, not in an odd way, but by the striking hosiery they wore. Labels like Chanel, Rabanne and Valentino accentuated their high-fashion looks in a variety of statement socks, ranging from colourful designs to ornate versions with sequins and crystals. They added a little extra pizzazz to every outfit. Many VIP guests and celebrities also got the memo.
Socks are often viewed as a simple accessory that keeps your feet warm. Designers showed this season that socks can be used as a fun and bold finishing touch. The outfit at Rabanne was made party-ready with silver sequin socks paired with chunky flats. Alessandro Michele paired Valentino’s strappy stilettos in green and red with statement socks. The shoes became less vampy and more whimsical. The right statement socks are able to transform your entire outfit.
Even the stars in the front row embraced the style. Sydney Sweeney, Emma Corrin, and other stars wore Miu Miu’s socks below the knee, paired with strappy heels. Street style icons such as Tamu MacPherson and Chloe King paired designer heels or ballet flats with chunky socks.
Why is it worth investing in a statement sock? Think of it as a little extra treat to your outfit. It may not be necessary to wear fun socks, but incorporating a pair will make the look more intentional and put them together. Like a nice belt or bag, you may not notice it at first, but it is a lovely touch. You have to wear socks every day, so why not choose a pair with a little extra punch?
