Wearing a stylish coat over a simple ensemble creates an impressive appearance.
In the chill of winter, finding the perfect outfit can be a challenge. But one fashion trend has made a comeback that's warming up wardrobes everywhere - socks.
Today, the author is on a quest for winter outfit inspiration. Stepping out in style, she's wearing an Aritzia Homestretch Crew Waist Tee, paired with a denim coat from the same brand, worn over leggings and a hoodie. The denim coat, currently on sale, adds a touch of casual elegance to the ensemble.
On her feet, she's sporting New Balance 530 Sneakers, a versatile choice that pairs well with both the socks and Birkenstock Boston clogs. The socks in question are none other than the Aritzia Unwind Socks, slouchy and of the perfect height to add a pop of colour and pattern to the outfit.
Accessories play a crucial role in any outfit, and the author's jewellery choices are no exception. She's wearing Mejuri Thin Dome Rings, a stylish addition that complements the overall look. Hanging around her neck is the Chan Luu Merida Beaded Necklace, currently on sale for $166.60 (originally $300.00).
The author is also wearing Jenny Bird Medium Tome Earrings, adding a touch of sparkle to her winter outfit.
In the realm of fashion history, socks have been worn since ancient times, evolving in materials and fashion roles. In 18th-20th century Europe and America, styles like white ankle socks, knee socks, and patterned varieties accompanied specific shoe types and fashion statements.
Recently, socks have taken centre stage as visible, fashionable accessories, featuring creative patterns, colours, and luxury branding. This shift reflects broader fashion trends emphasizing individual expression and the reimagining of everyday items as style highlights.
For those seeking a similar vintage-inspired ring, the author suggests the Pave Diamond Slim Signet Ring from Quince, priced under $250, or the 14k Gold Micro Pave Ring, a more affordable option.
The author expresses her gratitude for the return of socks in fashion, as they add a playful, expressive element to winter wardrobes. Completing the look, she carries a $3 Canvas Tote, ready for all her winter adventures.
Unfancy socks, like the Aritzia Unwind Socks, are becoming a key element in the unfancy lifestyle, adding a pop of color and pattern to neutral outfits, such as the one she's wearing today with an Aritzia Homestretch Crew Waist Tee, denim coat, leggings, hoodie, and New Balance 530 Sneakers. With the ongoing trend of socks as visible, fashionable accessories, the author is excited to explore more home-and-garden ideas that blend style and practicality, such as unique, creative patterns for her home decor.
