The secret, I think, is to get a fairly thick-ribbed sock that is at least knee-high so you can really gather that scrunch around the ankle—and a good height that reaches at least the lower part of the calf.
I love to wear weirdly mid-length skirts and in the winter that means I get to experiment with tights and socks so I don't freeze while walking outside. Lately, I am feeling drawn in by the combo of a super ’80s-style scrunch sock and a Mary Jane or loafer. The secret, I think, is to get a fairly thick-ribbed sock that is at least knee-high so you can really gather that scrunch around the ankle—and a good height that reaches at least the lower part of the calf.
