Have you watched the popular Ugly Betty series lately? Betty Suarez, the main character (played by actress America Ferrera), is the progenitor of the recently-coined “Ugly Betty Fashion.” This trend involves vivid mix-and-match outfits, quaint colorful dresses, and brightly-hued socks worn with heels.
Pairing socks with heels – and pulling it off
Not everyone might be able to pull off the look as good as our dear Betty Suarez. But, as they say, if there’s a will, then there’s always a way.
Red platform lace-up shoes look oh-so-hot with grey socks – it’s like you’re walking on fire!
- Choose your poison. What color of socks would you want to wear? If you’re too scared to go ala-Betty, try more somber hues like brown or grey. If you’re willing to wander out of your comfort zone, try dark shades of stronger colors.
- Longer equals leaner. How long are your socks of choice, knee-high or mid-calf? Remember that the higher you go, the longer your legs will look. Save the ankle and mid-calf socks for those with gangly legs.
- Make your pick: clunky shoes or sexy stilettos? Depending on what look you want, you can wear either. If you want to do a fashion-forward but sophisticated look, stick to streamlined heels that define your legs. If stilettos bore you, start a trend by wearing socks with cut-out shoes.
- Tone it down with straightforward pieces. A plain oversized tank top worn with a short skirt will balance the look. Put on a cropped jacket to add élan to your attire.
Because socks worn with heels makes quite a statement, make sure that everything else you wear takes a back seat. See? It’s not that hard to update your look with a new and arguably eccentric trend.
