Transitional trends: How to handle the seasonal sock style change
Posted 9th September 2014 by Danielle
| It's always tricky to make the move from season to season style-wise. I'd say you could rely on the change in weather but, in a country which can remain frozen over until as late as April and where you can usually expect some kind of monsoon through July and August, that's not a safe bet. You (or should I say your feet) would more than likely notice the dramatic climate change if you swapped the shoe liners for the chunky thermals in one go, so here are a few tips to make the seasonal sock switch a little smoother. |
| Don't ditch the short skirts and dresses - Knee socks and thigh highs will do |
| No need to head into a constant state of trouser-wearing. You can still show off the remnants of that sunkised summer tan on your pins and cover up from the cold by teaming your skirts and dresses with a pair of knee highs or over-the-knee socks. This combo looks fab with a pair of heeled knee or chelsea boots for that tween-season style. If you're still feeling the chill, why not layer with a pair of sheer tights for a bare leg look. |

| Guys, meet Leisure & Mid-Weight - Not too thick, not too thin |
| You might feel frosty toes with those thin summer and suit socks but it's not quite cold enough for the thick & chunky, so let us introduce you to our mid-weight men's socks range. Smart enough for the office and stylish enough for a casual day out! |
 |
| Opaque doesn't have to mean thick, the Winter woolies can wait a while |
| A pair of black opaques or colour block tights doesn't always have to be 100 denier thick! Go fashion over function in a pair of 30, 40, 50, or 60 denier tights, whether you're going classic black or adding a flash of colour to your Autumnal ensemble. |
 |
| Ditch the dreary, make a statement in patterned tights |
| Forget sombre and subtle, turn heads in bright tights and statement patterns. The florals and fun colours aren't staying in with the sun this Autumn/Winter, so get a head start on statement style this coming season! |
 |
| Skinny Scarves |
| Lightweight scarves and pashminas are perfect for adding a pop of colour to your outfit and, of course, keeping the creeping chill off your chest. A chunky cable scarf is most certainly not necessary... Not just yet anyway! |
