My Looks

Textured

Everyone knows that the way to handle the changing seasons is by wearing layers: a tank under a cardigan under a vest topped with a jacket and a scarf, and you’re ready for whatever the weather can throw at you. But layering isn’t just a practical approach to temperature ups and downs; it’s also a fun way to add a little extra color and pattern to your favorite basics.

A trick for adding some interest to your look while keeping your legs warm and toasty: top a pair of black opaque tights with knee-high socks…and then layer a pair of patterned ankle socks on top of everything. (Just make sure that the rest of your outfit doesn’t fight with the print on your socks; a good rule of thumb is to make sure all the patterns that you have on are in the same basic color palette but are different sizes: small polka dots and big checks, for example.)

Some more pretty patterns for your consideration, above (and FYI, all of the Gold Toe styles pictured here have reinforced toes, so they’re long-lasting and comfortable).
