Wearing high socks with a short garment so that they are fully visible is a trend that appeared in the 1970s: young women wore them with school uniforms at the time, as a change from socks that come below the knee and to keep them warm.
If you weren't born then, you may have experienced this look in the late90s, with iconic outfits, such as Britney Spears, in the video for "Baby one more time."
High socks thus help give a cute and youthful edge to an outfit: they spruce up a short, sexy skirt, while bringing freshness to your ensemble.
When it starts to get chilly, tall socks are an alternative to tights for warmth. Since they let your upper legs show, you can reserve them for early fall or the first beautiful days of spring.
👉 Another tip is to wear them over your tights, to get even warmer. Plus, it will keep them from slipping, especially if they are textured tights (polka dots, fishnet, striped...)!

These are colors that do not violently contrast others and therefore allow enhance the rest of your outfit.
👉 To create a sense of unity in your outfit and elongate your legs, I recommend choosing socks in the same color as your shoes. This can also allow you to create the illusion of a pair of boots with simple booties!
To create an adorable and delicate winter look for yourself, you can choose to wear outfits composed of bright and pastel shades such as :
In this case, opt for white socks, which will highlight your legs by perfectly completing your look!
