The Hottest New Looks for 2010: 2
Posted: 1/25/10
Many aspects of fashion are all about dichotomies. Light and dark, innocence and wickedness, and things of that nature, are especially popular leitmotifs in the world of fashion.
That is why “little girl looks” are so popular in style and trends. Twenty years ago, for example, in the early 1990s, the look was all about babydoll dresses.
Now? Knee socks as well as socks that go up over the knee are the next big thing.
Of course, to pull off this trend, you have to choose wisely. Different types of high socks will fit different body types, and they can create different, more flattering illusions as well.
For example, if your thighs are on the larger side, do not choose thigh high socks; they will draw attention to the area. Instead, knee socks that actually come to just below the knee will make your legs look slimmer.
