Yes, Socks with Heels Navy blue and black. Gold with silver. Denim on denim. These age-old fashion rules may have made you cringe back in the day (and still might), but let's face it: there are no rules in fashion that can't be broken. Case in point: socks with heels.

Dolce and Gabbana took the first gamble pairing pointed pumps with socks in unexpected colors back in 2012. Always ahead of the curve, it was welcomed by quirky style icons (think Chloe Sevigny, Annabelle Dexter Jones), but big name fashion houses like Saint Laurent and Tory Burch are getting in on the game, styling their cult heels with socks. And we're not talking about socks with booties. We mean pumps, sandals and cutout heels paired with socks of all styles -- bobby, slouch, crew, trouser, knee-high, you name it. Bloggers and celebrities are officially on board, which means it's time to tiptoe into the trend. Try it as a transition between winter cool and leg-baring spring.

P.S. Tube socks and flip flops will always be a fashion hell no.
