However, in 2022, wearing socks makes you
appear more fashionable, not less. Brightly colored sports socks are used as a
visual exclamation point on the runway, much like avant-garde hats were in the
1990s fashion shows. Bright socks have always been a distinguishing aspect of
sportswear, particularly in the beautiful game. Looking like a player now makes
you, well, look like a player.
While school-run moms typically combine trainer socks with public-facing athleisure for a post-drop-off coffee, personal trainers have begun to emphasize their sport-seriousness by wearing thick sports socks pulled up to mid-calf. The It girls have now followed suit. The crucial item for models crossing the paparazzi gauntlet on their way to spin class is a pair of ribbed socks worn casually over a legging. Mark my words: the trainer liner's days are numbered.
The Renais-socks, like pretty much
everything else that has happened in fashion recently, are the love child of
our generation's two lifestyle shifts: the elevation of sport to a glamorous
level of culture, and the needle-shift towards comfort, which began with hygge
before being granted a royal warrant by the lockdown. Suffering from fashion is
a thing of the past. Being comfortable is becoming an aspiration.
Rising hemlines are also a motivating force
behind the comeback. A calf-length skirt with socks appears congested, with too
much going on in the ankle area. With skirts becoming shorter, wearing them
with socks - as seen on the catwalk, the spiritual home of the mini-revival -
feels like a contemporary way to wear a mini.

However, do not mix the trendy sock with
the novelty sock. Renais-socks do not contain Homer socks. Ribbed sports socks
to wear with trainers, leggings, or jeans should be part of your sockdrobe.
Fine, ribbed socks in neutral colors for wearing with pants and loafers, and
bright ones for wearing with heels, should be included. A bright color will
help to emphasize that you are wearing socks as an alpha-style decision.
If, like us, you prefer hefty flatbed
sandals to leather gladiators but find that they irritate and blister the top
of your foot, a thick, textured cotton sock is a game changer. Style hacks
don't get much easier -- or more wearable - than this.
