Let’s be honest here; it has unequivocally been a “statement everything” year – think statement earrings, statement bags and statement shoes. But how many of you actually expected the trend to reach – wait for it – your socks?!

If you’re having a hard time trying to picture them, then just imagine a real version of Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl, minus the headband of course. So who are our favorite brand endorsers? Think Gucci, Marni, Dolce & Gabbana and so much more! And why have we grown to like them? Simply because they turn any run-of-the-mill outfit into a masterpiece, they’re funky and most of all, we’ve seen them on Kendall Jenner and Rihanna – amongst others. Whether you choose to buy ankle-length socks, calf-length or knee-high socks, one thing’s for sure: the funkier, the better. And the best thing about all of it is that you can pair them with your sneaks, Mary Janes, pumps or even loafers!

Some designers choose to play with textures while others generally go for a color mishmash. But whatever the process is, the result is always as special as ever. Rather than go for an average ensemble, designers have now given us the chance to step up our styling game. Let’s take them up on their offer, shall we?
