To mimic Prada’s success with kneehigh socks, it is important to always leave a large gap between the hemline and the sock. While short shorts with kneehighs work beautifully, longer shorts with kneehighs should be left to your high school science teacher (along with the socks teamed with Roman Sandals). Also, feel free to team kneehigh socks with high-top casual boots (breaking the ‘only with high heels’ rule) but only if you are in the age group that can get away with this.
