Barely-there but still eye-catching, high socks are slowly making a comeback, stealing the limelight from its shyer counterparts that have been in trend for some time. But we’re not talking about knee-high, demure schoolgirl socks; these end just above the ankle, midway up the shin at max, and are playful and cheeky but so easy to throw on. Sneaking this upcoming trend into your workwear may take some trial and error, but the end result is definitely worth it. To make this work-appropriate, treat the high sock as a focal piece, and build your outfit around it. Pair brightly-coloured socks with a toned-down outfit, or be adventurous and match your socks with strappy sandals. For the men, just a peek of a boldly-patterned sock from under a trouser hem adds some instant, unexpected fun to any look.
