How To Style Knee-Highs: 3 Ways
Knee-high socks are an accessory that have been around for decades! They are most commonly associated with school uniforms or a prep style, but there are many other ways to style them. I’ve been rewatching one of my favorite old shows- Gossip Girl! Between that and watching Pretty Little Liars, I have been seeing more knee-high socks than I ever noticed before. So, I’ve decided to give this tricky trend a try to bring you this how-to-style tutorial.
Here’s How To Style Knee-Highs: 3 Ways! Read on as I walk you through 3 different styles; collegiate, classic, and alternative.
The collegiate style, one of my personal favorites, is all about plaid and pleats! It’s the ultimate prep style and a classic look paired with knee-highs. It’s my absolute favorite style for the Fall season, but it can really be worn any time of year. Common colors that tie it in with Fall are burgundy, navy, mustard, and shades of brown. By simply switching up the colors to Spring brights, like turquoise, you can carry these pieces with you year round.

The classic, feminine style is the most like my signature style. Each piece- from the clean, crisp oxford top to the simple envelope clutch and black bow belt- has a timeless appeal. The mostly black color palette gives this look a minimalistic style, while the bright pop of color adds a much-needed dose of Spring!
These black thigh-high socks are perfect to pair with black boots or ankle booties. This pair is a lighter knit fabric, making it ideal as the weather is starting to warm up. It’s both polished and stylish, giving the illusion of tights while showing a slight bit of skin.

This funky, alternative style is pretty different for me but that’s what makes it fun! The biggest appeal of fashion and style is getting to play dress-up by trying out new styles and looks. You can show the world a new side of your personality or your particular mood by communicating through style!
These burgundy striped tube socks are a retro style, but I associate them with a sports attire. That could be because I played field hockey in high school but either way, these were the biggest challenge to style. Most of the other pieces in this look are pretty simple but the accessories- the wide-brimmed felt fedora and the tube socks- completely transform the look and gives it a bit of an alternative, street style appeal.
