This fall, many celebrities and trendsetters have revived a fashion icon – Princess Diana – through the “Diana socks” trend. The long, sleek, and elegant socks have become an indispensable accent in outfits ranging from casual to those featured in collections by numerous renowned fashion houses. Let’s delve into this trend and get ready to dress up and shine like a true princess!
Summary:
- The Trend
- How to Wear
The Trend: An oversized sweater, cycling shorts, a luxurious handbag, white thick socks, and sneakers constitute an iconic image that inspired this trend. The princess wore classic white cotton socks, not too thick or too thin, softly hugging the ankles and calves, exuding both sportiness and elegance.
This smooth, seamless transition of attire from summer to fall has turned athletic socks (seemingly mundane) into a trendsetter since 2022, winning the hearts of many celebrities and gracing the runways of various brands. Princess Diana’s socks remain one of the easiest fall items to “up style” for everyone. Take a stroll through the Instagram feeds of It girls and fashion brands to see how simple socks have conquered us!
How to Wear: Certainly, choosing the right socks is crucial, and it’s not as easy as it sounds despite being a simple trend to follow. Princess Diana-style socks must be truly special – not too thick (so you can’t stuff them into your shoes) but also not too thin. They should reach the ankles (not too short or too tall).
You can pair them with a dark-colored bodycon dress and wear loafers (like Gigi Hadid at MiuMiu), a midi/tennis skirt, a tank top/t-shirt, and flat shoes like Olivia Rodrigo’s outfit, which is also a good suggestion. Or leggings, a crop top, and your favorite sneakers? Everything is fine and beautiful. Alternatively, we can simply reference the princess’s original look but with our own clothes to become the most unique and individualistic version!
