Cool Socks: Sock Dreams

It might be too warm for your woolly socks, but that doesn't mean you'll need to give up on whimsical sock designs and styles like these ones below. I love the shop Sock Dreams, and I've been looking up styles to wear this spring/summer.

If you have a funkier sense of style, these socks can give your skirts a boost and add a little je ne sais quoi to your longer shorts in denim and chambray.

(Diamond Knit Toe Socks) The socks I have pictured here are black, but they are also available in a creamy peach that is perfect for spring. Anklets are great to keep those tight mary janes from itching and scratching, and the diamond pattern is coolly hypnotic and refreshingly light looking.

(Centered Big Stripe Over the Knee Socks) These Centered Big Stripe Socks are a good compromise if you're eyeing the rainbow striped socks below but simply can't pull them off, these are ones that you can definitely give to your teenage daughter or niece and wear these vicariously through someone else. If you're daring to wear this pink pair, try them with something light and airy, as pictured.

(Rainbow Striped Over the Knees)
Over-the-Knee Socks are an interesting departure from your usual bobby or kneesocks, and rainbow just jazzes them up even further. Leave these only to the most daring of individuals-- they'd be a great present for a teen--or save them up for a fun fancy dress party or a great costume.

(Lace Anklet with Ruffles)
For the girly girl in all of us, here's your chance to wear the most feminine socks I've ever seen. These ones feature an extra-large ruffle around the ankle and a floral lace pattern, so balance them out with a slim pencil skirt and flats.

(Sock It To Me Mini Rainbows)
Searching for your inner schoolgirl? These bright white kneesocks are a failsafe choice for those of us who need something a little bit younger-- think casual days out picking up some groceries and stopping off at the library. Even if you don't like to wear kneesocks with skirts, these would look amazing underneath some knee-length, cinched exercise trousers and a plain tee with rolled-up sleeves. How delightfully '80s!

I love these socks - especially the long stripey over the knee socks - they are fab!
