Fall trends : socks + heels = debate


Just this week whilst traipsing round London in uber urban heels from DVF I got the worst blister I’ve had in ages. It prompted my sis-in-law to spout that well loved phrase (much over used by well intentioned parents), "you should have had socks on". 

Before I could stop myself guffawing into my glass of recuperative vino, and whilst simultaneously reaching for the Compseed blister plaster kit, it suddenly struck me that this was exactly what those well intentioned folk at J.Crew have been mass mailing me about over the summer. It is indeed time to kick off our flip flops and reach for the Fall 10 accessory of choice - the skinny ribbed sock.

As usual in fashion, it's all about the detail. No, the chunky knit ski sock is not welcome. The well meaning comfort spring sports sock need not apply - this Fall it's the skinny rib sock or bust.
