Socks Appeal — Will You Be Adding to Your Ankle Boots This Autumn?

Unsurprisingly, the ankle boot was a firm fixture in the street style of London Fashion Week, but plenty of fashionistas chose to make a feature of what they were wearing inside their booties too.

Unsurprisingly, the ankle boot was a firm fixture in the street style of London Fashion Week, but plenty of fashionistas chose to make a feature of what they were wearing inside their booties too. Socks of contrasting shades brought a pop of colour to Fearne Cotton's outfit on Tuesday, when the Radio 1 DJ's pink hosiery peeked out from her buckle tan shoes. The trend extended to the front rows of LFW too, with British model Laura Bailey showing a flash of grey over her black boots at the Christopher Kane show on Monday. More intriguing still was when the look arrived not only in Los Angeles, where temperatures are much warmer than here in the chilly Autumnal UK, but also on the red carpet, on Busy Philipps' ankles at the End of Watch premiere. Tell me: will you be making a feature of your socks this Autumn?

Freaky or Fabulous: Tattered Socks

In 2009, some very expensive ripped jeans went on sale as grungey styling made a comeback.

In 2009, some very expensive ripped jeans went on sale as grungey styling made a comeback. We haven't shaken off the style just yet as worn accessories (particularly footwear) are still incredibly popular.

I have just spotted these tattered socks (£11.29) over at Free People which got me wondering if the trend has gone too far. I'm sure we all have a few pairs of worn out socks in our collection, but do they really make a fashion statement? Are these socks freaky, or fabulous?
