__For a Day of Walking/Lunching/Brunching:__Pair a short anklet in red, blue, green, or yellow with shoes in a contrasting color. Throw on a pair of boyfriend jeans, roll up the hems and you're set!
__For a Night Out:__If you're wearing a miniskirt or an LBD, try a printed sock or maybe one with a pom-pom to add some lightness.
__For Work:__Choose a simple-looking sock or match the tone of your shoe—black socks with black pumps or nude socks with nude pumps. The look should be sleek and seamless.
For any occasion, be sure to choose thin socks that will fit into your shoes—it's essential.
Not only are socks a playful way to navigate transitional seasons, they're also a seriously affordable way to freshen up your footwear. (Plus, you can avoid those pesky new-shoe blisters.)
We were so inspired by Blahnik's enthusiasm that we went to his New York City headquarters and made this happiness-inducing video with his lovely socks and shoes for you. Enjoy!
