Socks Garter are back in fashion track.

EVOLUTION

Dress it right, with style..

Three styling ideas for sock garters:

1. Dark Dandy

For this look go for sharp-as-a-tack masculine suiting; think bowler hats and slim cuts, The Avengers style. Show off sock garters with tailored shorts or a skirt - either short or vintage-style three quarter with a snug hourglass shape. For this look, shoes are best as classic stilettos or some man-style brogues or saddle shoes.

 

2. Country chic

Another take on Dandy dressing but with a country twist, the perfect colour palette for this look is with forest greens, greys, creams and neutral colours; for fabrics look to knits and tweeds, or mix in feminine elements like silk as a contrast.

 

3. A sporty alternative

While not technically a sock garter, Alexander Wang's socks with cut-away back and elastic top are sort of a cheat version if you don't want to go all out. Perfect with the sportswear trend styling that accompanied them on the runway

 

DON’Ts:

Avoid anything too lacy or scrunchy - the idea is to go for understated and masculine. In other words, steer clear of anything that looks like it would be on your upper thigh on your wedding day; or from the costume of a barmaid in a Western.

TRY:

Socks in white or cream, or soft pastels; paired with tan leather platform sandals or man-style laceups

 

Here, this week, I’ve found this on Sartorialist Fashion Book.

I’ve always loved to have a cute Scooter with a leather boot like that.

Dressy Lady with a leather sneak, Rugged Stylish Man with the blue footwear.

Cute Summer Look! Just the right look for the scooter.
