Susie I love the looks you posted espeically the third one which is absolutely gorgeous. But I don't think this it is for everyone.

Ooops...didn't know I was making a fashion F.U.G.L.Y. mistake.... for me, it's a way of wearing my thigh/knee high socks with miniskirts without looking a little sl*tty....

No, it actually looks fantastic on you.

I feel like this is a trend that when you do it right, it looks fantastic, but people can easily do it wrong. It's not something I'd like to get around to the masses in my area though because I don't trust them with such responsibility. They would really kill it.

I think I might experiment with it. I have pale twig legs that look good covered up with stockings/socks whatever, but not so much bare, in my opinion.

That look was my first thought of how am i going to wear over the knee socks without looking sl*tty? I might try it, but I am very insecure about my thighs.

Since reading the thread this morning I spotted at least 3 girls doing it , and quite well I might add.

 

[kiiimeluv]

ye they do it at my school. its something bout them not wanting to rip their tights? personally i think whats the point? its one or the other cause they look daf

I actually rather like the look. And with colorful socks, I think it's really cute. It just adds something to any outfit, and allows you to get a bit mre color in.

I like this look but too often see the knee high socks being rainbow striped or something ridiculous.

I love it with dark and basic colors like susie_bubble though

Socks with tights or over tights

I was in a mall during the holiday season and it was on the way to the camera store. I glanced around. I saw this couple. It seemed cold for shorts and a basketball jersey. After nearly passing him by, I happened to glance back for a second and noticed he was wearing black tights with white socks and basketball shoes. Also tow other times, one at a local electronics store, I was on the way in I noticed this guy walking into the store. Basketball shorts and a jersey, in January. Cold that night. he was wearing leggings with shorts.

Style is catching on. Saw 3 people so far. I had worn my bike addidas stripe tights with shorts about a month ago. Kind of cool.

Addict of this look, I love it and it keeps you warm.

 

[MulletProof]

susie!, the black outfit is just perfection, I love how you keep teaching us how to make things look amazing despite their sound/and our lack of creativity of course!.

 

[style_star]

I agree with everyone here, Susie, you look fantastic.

I love this look, when done right. Actually, I think that's an unwritten rule in fashion. Every trend can be manipulated to look horrific, but I think that those very same trends can be worn in a way that makes it look chic and/or fabulous. It really does depend on the wearer themself.

Regarding the long socks over tights look itself, I recently found three of my old knit miniskirts that I had for what seems like forever. They used to be huge on me and I wore them as knee-length skirts! Nowadays, I've been waiting on the perfect time to wear them with dark blue thick stockings and brown leather slouch boots with knee socks peaking out form underneath. It's warm, non-sl*tty, and IMO cute.

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[litchickuk]

this sounds terrible - almost as bad as leg warmers which is essantially what they are creating with this trend!

 

[Moni]

first I thought no way that that looks good and then I saw the pics
it´s ugly. really really ugly.

 

[sunworshipper]

^no way. After seeing susie_bubble's pictures I think it looks great

 

[KatieD]

I like the third pic of Susiebubbles - that looks good. I'm not actually convinced by the other two though.

And what the first person said - white calf-length socks over black tights??? WTF?

 

[sAsHa]

It could look right on the right person, with a cute schoolgirl type look happening. Personally I don't think I could do it, I am too tall for it I think

I saw this look recently at my local shopping centre on a young woman and it looked ridiculous. This girl was wearing black stockings with black and brown striped knee high socks over the type,a denim mini skirt and these chunky black sandal type shoes. It looked awful.

However, not long after, while in the city I saw this young woman wearing black stockings with dark blue and lighter blue, knee high argyle socks over the top, with a pair of black heels and a black skirt. It actually looked good on her. Very cute.

It's probably like a lot of trends, it all depends on how you work it. Some people can pull it off, some people can't. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but I don't hate it.
