There are some trends that you know you love, and some trends that you know you hate. Then there are there are the trends that you think you hate, but you could potentially get on board with. Socks and Heels was one of those autumn winter 2018 trends for me. At first, I couldn’t handle the concept at all, it was too reminiscent of socks and sandals for me. As time went on, I had more and more of you asking me what I thought of the trend, and some of you even wanted to know how I would style it. That’s when I realised, I had to give socks and heels a try. Here’s what happened.

I didn’t totally hate it. Trust me, I was incredibly surprised by this. I realised, like with any trends, there are a few ways to make it work for you and to really elevate it to a new level of chic. So if you’re looking to try the socks and heels trend, or you’ve already discovered you love it and want to up your game, here are three tips for really making this fad, something to rave about:

1. Choose the right pair of socks
Don’t go for your white socks and definitely put the Christmas-esque ones away. If you really want to get a chic high fashion look, go for sheer socks. Think your favourite glittery kind, or sheer with a fun pattern. I opted for my glitter socks, perfect for the autumn winter parties! You could even make this work with fishnet socks. Free People have a fabulous selection of sheer socks that I am currently crushing on and this is something I saw done at New York Fashion week as well!

2. Choose the right pair of heels.
This is so crucial for making this work! As you can see I went for a pair of strappy, open toe shoes. I would avoid wearing closed or pointed toed shoes with a trend like this. Instead, go for open toe and strappy!

3. Keep the rest of your look classic.
If you’re going to really rock a trend like socks and heels, make sure that the rest of your outfit is classic. I went for a chic little black dress, an elegant choice when going for a trend like this one.

A Peek Inside My Shoe Closet: Isabel Marant Cowboy Bootst

COWBOY BOOTS ARE HERE.

If there’s a shoe that’s trending for autumn winter and with the street style crowd its cowboy boots. As the western trend takes over for the season, I’ve found myself embracing cowboy boots like never before. I actually spent a majority of my summer hunting for the perfect pair, from the high street to my favourite designer stores and after searching high and low, trying on all the pairs, comparing fits and so on, I settled on these beauties. My Isabel Marant cowboy boots with the embellished heel are probably my favourite boots in my closet right now.

So, for this month’s sneak peek in my shoe closet, it seemed only fitting to share with you guys why you need these cowboy boots in your life and to share the alternatives I tried on that would have made the cut if I could buy more than one pair!

Quality

The whole point of investing in luxury accessories is the quality. Especially when you’re looking to buy a pair of leather shoes, you want shoes that are durable and that will age well. So far, for wearing these boots every day, I’m really happy with how durable they are. They have minimal scuffing and are still shiny and gorgeous. The leather is ageing well and I like how it bends with my feet.

Design

One of the reasons I went for this pair was the design. I love the embellished heel on these boots and the faint stitching detail on them. They have a very cowboy aesthetic while still being very high fashion. The heels are a total show stopper for me. They are also not super high which means you can wear them with anything!

Comfort

I have wide feet so I was a bit nervous about getting a pair of cowboy boots initially because I felt they would hurt my feet. These were so comfortable and the leather stretches with time giving me enough room to be able to wear these all day, day in and day out. The heel is low which also means they are super comfortable. Literally living in them.

Care

Leather shoes like these are easy to care for but make sure to help your boots retain their shape by stuffing them. I either stuff them with the tissue they came with or I get soft tissue and make little balls and stuff them. I also keep them in their dust bag so that the leather and heels stay in good quality. You can invest in a black leather shoe shine and a leather cream to clean them. A good trick though is to use non-scented lotion to clean your leather shoes.
