Why bug the trend? Once a fashion faux pas, the socks and heels combo are back in favour and here to stay. The Spring/Summer 2019 collections were filled with the ’80s-era trend: Both Prada and Self-Portrait sent out sheer knee-high tights paired with spikey Mary Jane heels, while Manish Arora festooned the trend with ankle socks in bright hues like pink, yellow and blue. The icing on the cake? Moschino’s magic marker printed tights, of course.
