Show off your socks. Indulge in the most coveted crime of fashion footwear – Socks & Sandals !

It’s an inexpensive way to spruce up your winter wardrobe. Transform your ankles from sporty to classy in the amazing range of socks. Listed below are recommendations made by the team at WLCI School of Fashion.

• Leather socks are in at Jil Sander. We recommend pairing these with over gladiators and a straight cut dress or skirt.
• Lace socks were spotted on the ramps of Dolce & Gabbana. Transform into a Mexican chica by adorning these with ankle strap pumps. 
• Patchwork socks are being worn by the models of Prada. A fun concept of detailing and color, pair it with a crisp white outfit.
