Footwear Fashion: Why 2018 Will Make You Ditch Plain Socks for Good

After reading this, the term 'plain socks' will vanish from your fashion vocabulary. Discover how statement socks become the must-have accessory for spring-summer 2018.

Footwear Fashion: Why 2018 Will Make You Ditch Plain Socks for Good

If you go through this article, the concept of boring socks will no longer appear in your style discussions. Sure, there's a certain guilty pleasure in bulk-buying them at Decathlon or Amazon: they come in large packs, you never have to worry about pairing them after laundry, and they seem indestructible. However, for the spring-summer 2018 season, throw away every excuse — socks are set to become your ultimate fashion declaration. That's why we no longer need plain black or white pairs in our wardrobe.

We picked up this trend directly from Jennifer Lopez, who revealed her favorite socks a couple of weeks ago: the incredibly pricey Gucci pair adorned with crystals. If that's not a true socks-fashion-moment, what is?

Using socks as trendy accessories is hardly a new idea, but for the upcoming season, runways and street-style have shown us that they will carry our fashion message. Statement socks, with their oversized lettering, shout that message loud and clear, amplifying the urban vibe of sneakers and ankle boots. Take, for example, the Local Heroes X The Blonde Salad socks: you can opt to boldly display “Fuck it”, or wrap your feet in the image of our muse Chiara Ferragni.

Sheer and translucent effects will persist, even on our feet. Fishnet styles add a cool edge to tone sur tone sandals, while logo-patterned nylon socks inject some energy into pumps and slingbacks. The real test? Wearing knee-high socks — extremely covering and skin-tight — during summer and sunny days. Better to start experimenting in the last few weeks of winter, wouldn't you agree?
