Not even enough time for us to get used to seeing slips, boxers, and bras parading in the streets, and a new trend has emerged to disrupt the unwritten rules of dressing (when out of the house). This time, the protagonists are knee high socks, covering up to the calves. And if until now they have played a supporting role, well hidden under the hems of pants and long skirts, this budding spring takes their moment of revenge to dominate the lower part of looks.
After spotting them in past seasons on the catwalks of various brands, including Miu Miu, GCDS, Antonio Marras, and Jacquemus, knee high socks have landed in the wardrobes of many celebrities who flaunt them effortlessly through the streets of metropolises. Among the first to come to mind is undoubtedly Kristen Stewart, who has recently caught the fashion spotlight, thanks to a shift to a more bold and sensual style, in which veiled stockings of every length take center stage. Also present are the knee high socks that the Love Lies Bleeding actress chose in an all-black version, pairing them with sneakers, a midi skirt, and a t-shirt.

When it comes to stars who love to dare with eccentric and exaggerated combinations, one cannot fail to mention Julia Fox, who appeared a few days ago in Los Angeles wearing calf-length stockings in nude tones and satin ballet flats: a melting pot of balletcore aesthetics and geek style, complete with prescription glasses. Lastly, knee high socks were also on display on the red carpet, and not just any kind. At the 2024 Oscars, both Diane Kruger and Billie Eilish appeared wearing knee high socks, black and translucent for the actress and ribbed total white for the singer-songwriter. And which ones would you choose?
