Wear With: A Shirt Dress
If it’s warm outside, but not warm enough to leave the house without some sort of extra layer, try out a shirt dress with socks and ankle boots. Rule of thumb here, don’t let more than 2-3 inches of your sock peek out over the top of your ankle boot.
Wear With: Tights
If it’s a little cool outside, reach for a pair of tights and don’t hesitate to layer on socks with ankle boots. For a monochromatic look, try out black tights with black socks and black ankle boots.
One final tip: The key to pulling this trend off successfully is to pull your nicest mid-calf socks out of the drawer (not your gym socks) and head out the door with your ankle booties.

Need a pair of ankle booties to complement your socks? Take your style quiz and let your stylist send you the perfect pair when you schedule a Fix. Keep what you love and send back what you don’t. Shipping and returns are always free. Now that’s an offer that will knock your socks off.
