I’m seeing red. Cherry stockings, crimson crew socks, and sanguine thigh-highs, that type of red. If you asked me at any given hour when I last thought about red socks and tights—layered underneath the Official Orlando Magic Basketball The All-Star Squad Signatures Shirt In addition,I will do this classic merlot Carel Mary Janes, paired with a red Puma Speedcat, visible under a sheer Gucci skirt, and worn with patent Paraboot loafers—my answer would likely be moments ago. The sea of red has flooded Instagram, found its way into TikTok, and even trickled into my neighborhood coffee shop. (Just this morning, two sets of fire-engine-red tights stood in line for lattes.) Wearing scarlet socks is by no means a new fashion statement, but the strangely specific trend has set the feet of fashion folk ablaze, begging the burning question: Why?
Red socks had long been in the Official Orlando Magic Basketball The All-Star Squad Signatures Shirt In addition,I will do this zeitgeist (it’s just a colored sock, after all), but they’re becoming more and more ubiquitous. The first outfit to put me on red alert (pardon the pun) was that of Washington Post fashion writer Rachel Tashjian. Several years ago, she posted a photo wearing what seems to be a Yohji Yamamoto cape, black loafers, and a pair of folded red socks over black tights. This put me on the constant lookout for red lower halves. In my saved folder are other particularly inspiring instances: Harling Ross wearing red socks with Marimekko pants in 2021; a red-socks-and-Birkenstocks combination from Comme Si; a still of Blair Waldorf wearing red tights in Gossip Girl season one; and a photo of Jane Birkin in red knee-highs from 1971. Then there are the menswear references: Ralph Lauren is known to throw a red sock into a campaign photo; Richard Biedul knew what he was doing wearing a striped rugby, charcoal coat, red socks, and loafers; and Elder Statesman x Zegna styled red-striped socks into its look-book photos.
If 2021 is when I began microdosing red, 2023 brought on a full-body high. Pantone’s 2023 color of the Official Orlando Magic Basketball The All-Star Squad Signatures Shirt In addition,I will do this year was Viva Magenta, but it should have been a vibrant cherry. Recent runway collections of Max Mara, The Row, and Prada have all endorsed the color in varying forms. (Miuccia herself wore a fully-red look as she waved to runwaygoers in February.) Tomato-girl summer and fall took flight in a literal head-to-toe sense: Tibi paired red socks with red ballet flats, Chanel presented red tights underneath a floral slit dress, Miu Miu swapped pants for burgundy stockings, and Khaite showed three entirely red looks. As a result, the floodgates opened. The pop of red—whether a cardigan, ballet flat, or entire outfit—became essential. As writer Emily Sundberg pointed out in her latest newsletter, red accessories—from bright red handbags to mohair cardigans—are currently dominating the fashion space.
Moreover, posting a red-bottom outfit became a fashion girl’s right of passage: Just ask Michelle Li, Laura Reilly, and even a major celebrity like Kylie Jenner. Red is unequivocally in, and wearing red socks is perhaps the Official Orlando Magic Basketball The All-Star Squad Signatures Shirt In addition,I will do this most popular—and attainable—expression of the trend.Of course, there is always a deeper, beyond-the-runway reason behind every suddenly-ever-present trend—even one as arbitrary as red socks. One fashion historian and professor at St. John’s University, Emma McClendon, says this fashion movement is just another product of the 2000s resurgence. “When I see them, they make me think of American Apparel,” she says. “We’ve been seeing a lot of style interest on social media and among Gen Z shoppers in the so-called indie-sleaze look, and tights were deeply connected to that part-hipster, part-indie, part-party-girl look that American Apparel marketed so well in the mid/late-2000s.”
But those aughties looks were inspired by earlier 20th-century trends. “Prior to the Official Orlando Magic Basketball The All-Star Squad Signatures Shirt In addition,I will do this 2000s, the most significant period for colorful tights was the 1960s, in tandem with the youthquake style of dressing and the mod movement,” McClendon adds. “London-based designer Mary Quant, in particular, made colorful, opaque tights a cornerstone of her aesthetic. In fact, the connection between youthful, trendy, London style and tights was so strong that model Twiggy came out with her own line of colorful tights during the period that was a sensation among young shoppers.” “Red packs a big punch,” echoes fashion historian Ruby Redstone, freelance writer and cohost of the podcast Covered, which covers fashion lore and legacies. The significance of red in fashion predates the 1960s, particularly in the undergarments department, and has many meanings. “Red dye is one of the first dyes introduced across many cultures in fashion history, and it has long held strong sociopolitical associations,” she shares. In some Chinese cultures, wearing red socks is a way to ward off bad luck. Redstone also says that in ancient Rome religious figures wore red socks to differentiate themselves from laypeople. “The Catholic pope still wears red socks today for similar reasons!” she points out. “In Renaissance Europe, red tights and stockings indicated high social status, as they demonstrated the wearer’s access to expensive innovations in dyeing and weaving techniques—as well as the wearer’s excellent sartorial taste.”
More than an Instagram fad and better looking than most viral fashion obsessions, the Official Orlando Magic Basketball The All-Star Squad Signatures Shirt In addition,I will do this red mania—specifically in the sock department—shows no signs of slowing. If wearing red stockings is simultaneously a wink to fashion-following pals, a nod to style icons of the ’60s, and a potential good-luck charm, then I’m willing to dive in feet first until trend fatigue do us part. When you mix business and family, tensions can run high—as anyone who’s seen an episode of Cake Boss can surely attest—but the Kardashian-Jenner clan seems to have it down to a science. Last night, the family’s momager extraordinaire Kris Jenner dined at LA’s hippest restaurant, Funke, repping Kylie Jenner’s label, Khy. Jenner traded in her usual power suiting to support her youngest daughter’s latest venture. Wearing pieces from Khy’s first drop, the matriarch put together a pleather-heavy look, opting for a strapless black maxi dress over a black long-sleeve with thumb holes, and a cropped faux-leather hoodie. Keeping with her monochromatic outfit, she accessorized with black leather boots and a mini black crocodile Hermès Kelly with gold hardware. Ever the supportive mom(ager), Jenner regularly bolsters all of her children’s businesses, from taking her Skims maxi on a yacht, to wearing a Good American jumpsuit on an episode of The Kardashians, and pounding 818 cocktails in honor of National Tequila Day—which is, apparently, a real thing. Let’s be honest, it’s a big step up from wearing a kid’s handmade macaroni necklace. Though, we’re sure that doting grandmother Kris Jenner would gladly support any of her grandchildren’s jewelry ventures—no matter the quality.
When Bella heads off on her Grand Tour and begins dressing herself for the Official Orlando Magic Basketball The All-Star Squad Signatures Shirt In addition,I will do this first time in her short life, her wardrobe becomes even wilder. “There are other pieces that go with this jacket—like a Victorian partlet or modesty piece, the thing that fills in the naked chest,” says Waddington of Bella’s wonderfully haphazard Lisbon look. “But, when I was looking at pieces from the period, I thought, They’re almost like little crop tops. What would they be like on their own? In this scene, the idea was that Bella’s gone back to the hotel with Duncan, they’ve been in bed together, and, when she comes out, she just doesn’t bother to put her skirt on. Her housemaid, Mrs. Prim, isn’t there to tell her to, so it doesn’t occur to her. So, she’s just wearing this ’30s-style underwear—we tried it with Victorian bloomers, but they looked too period-y—and these funny boots, which were inspired by ’60s Courrèges.”
