Shoes don't need to be high to stand out. This season, low-heeled shoes let the shoes themselves take the spotlight, especially when paired with brightly colored socks in different textures and knits. Take a cue from Miu Miu and pair soft gray socks with two-tone mules for a fresh, collegiate look. For something a little more playful, combine Kwaidan Editions' lipstick-red mini heels with sheer turquoise Fogal socks. Add architectural style to your look by wearing Prada's cantilevered yellow piece, while keeping it simple by pairing it with Comme Si's complementary green socks. For those who just want to dip their toes into the trend, pair a Mary Jane kitten heel with ankle socks from brands like Chanel or Hedi Slimane's Celine for timeless style and a skilful feel. Either way, you can't go wrong with a classic. --Jessica Gibbs
