Socks peeking out of boots. What do you think?

I think it's cute and can be worn as long as where you're going is very casual. Football games, bonfires, just-because get togethers with friends or family, etc.

Also, try easing into the look by wearing socks/cuffs that are the same color as the leggings and/or the boots before journeying onto more conspicuous colors.

I'm seeing boots with knit socks (or cuffs as in the pictures below) more and more in blogs and Pinerest.  I'm not sure if I like this look in theory or IRL as well.  I think it looks cute in photos and maybe even on girls in their 20's, but am I too old to pull it off?  I'm 40, so not quite out to pasture yet, but is it too cutsy?

I think it's adorable and do it a lot, and I like PJ's suggestion of easing in with similar colors.

Also, it has to be cold outside.

Just had to add that.

I'm coming down on the side of not a fan other than the cold outdoor occasions mentioned. But, "slouchy," "scrunchy," etc. are not in my vocabulary. My personal preference is cleaner, more tailored lines.

I do this quite a bit. It helps disguise my skinny calves and keeps me warmer.
I posted about a particular look I saw last winter here:

I really like when the leg warmer/sock is unique, but I have not been able to find anything like it.

I definitely do not think you are too old for it.

I think it's cute. I agree on not wearing too contrasting of colors to keep the continuous visual line of the leg.

This made me think of a photo of Kate Middleton where I thought the look was super-cute - she wore with a skirt. I like that the socks aren't too kate_boots5.pngthick.

Well it looks like I might be in the market for some new socks.

I really think I like the grey sweater sock look with brown boots. I saw a suggestion on Pinerest to use sleeves from an old sweater, so maybe I might be in the market for an old grey fisherman knit sweater too.wink
