Women’s Striped Socks

You may be reading this intrigued about women’s striped socks, wondering how you can pull off this hot trend in 2020. Striped socks come in tons of different styles, and the trick is knowing which color, thickness and orientations work best with your body type and accentuate your natural assets. 

Women’s Striped Socks by Color

We all have our favorite shades, and it’s always a good idea to wear your favorite ones with confidence. If you want to try out some new colors, a good rule of thumb is to wear tones that stand out on your skin. A warmer skin tone has a yellow, peach, or gold tint to it, which pairs well with warmer colors, warm versions of cool colors (think olive, moss green, and violet), or neutrals like taupe or cream. Cool-toned skin has a pink, red, or blue tint, complemented by cooler coolers, like blue, emerald, and lavender. A cool skin tone also works well with bright reds, pale yellows, and neutrals like white, light grey, and navy. 

Women’s Striped Socks by Thickness & Orientation 

Embrace your body poised with the right tools to flatter your body shape. Women with a pear body shape and wide hips look great with thin vertical stripes, giving the illusion of slender legs. If you have an apple-shaped body with more weight in the midsection, thicker diagonal stripes are flattering and take focus away from the waist. Women with a naturally boyish figure look best with thick horizontal stripes in the areas where they want more curves. 

Petite women can never go wrong with vertical stripes to give the illusion of height, and those who are particularly slender can also mix horizontal and vertical stripes. Lastly, women with an hourglass figure and curves can experiment with different types of stripes. If you’re aiming to downplay your curves, go with vertical stripes.

How to Match Striped Women’s Socks With Your Outfit

We’ll take all those concepts and use them to build your entire look. When it comes to matching colorful socks with your outfit, keep in mind that striped socks are busier than one-toned socks. To complement your outfit, rather than take away focus, either match the sock color to a shade already in your outfit, or choose neutral clothing pieces (think white, black, grey, beige, and navy). If you plan on wearing clothing with stripes or patterns, leave the striped socks at home. Note that bulkier stripes are bolder than thin ones, so choose the thickness based on how much of a statement you want to make.
