If anyone can pull off bright yellow thigh-high socks with pink leopard print pumps, it's a Betsey Johnson girl (as seen at the Fall 2014 runway show).
From the Tory Burch runways, these charcoal knee-high knit socks paired with lace-up pointed toe heels give the illusion of a perfect semi-cold weather boot.
Combining the extremes -- sporty, blazing-white Nike crew socks with stylish black square-heeled sandals -- seems like a very bad idea on paper. IRL, this chic street styler makes it a statement with and all black get-up (crop top and maxi skirt with slits).
Pretty much anything J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons does goes. That includes these shiny metallic pumps with matchy nylon socks.
