Apparently the Victorian era is back. While people have been getting bolder and bolder the last few decades with how much skin they are willing to bear to catch others attention it turns out they have been missing the mark. Turns out all you need to bare is a little bit of leg, well ankle anyway. Take a lesson from the ladies of yesteryear who dared to show a bit of their leg from under layers of taffeta and hoopskirt, but modernize the silhouette. I like this look best when its simple and to the pin-tuck-point: squeeze into your ultra skinnies and do two tiny rolls (only about 3/4 of an inch wide) and then throw on some light tennies with no socks. However to spice up your (night) life and draw some attention to this seasons sexiest body part put on some snazzy socks- they can pull from another color in your outfit or add a new texture or pattern. I love pairing a neutral ribbed sock or a bright polka dot. Two of the most coveted avant garde indie ladies have been strutting around town like this for months- keep your eyes on the ankles of Ms. Deyn and Ms. Sevigny. At night slip your cozy socks on and slide them into gladiator heels, or for a dressier day look follow in Jenny Humphry's footsteps and wear socks over your tights and top it off with a patent leather flat.
