How to Wear Slouch Socks
Slouch socks became popular in the 1980s for their ability to be layered for a funky look. They were commonly worn with aerobic clothes, another popular '80s fashion trend. The slouch sock trend disappeared for a while, but it is slowly regaining popularity as '80s styles influence contemporary fashion designers. The slouch sock trend is easy to achieve, letting you match your slouch socks to other clothing items and accessories. The trend works best with clothing that displays the socks rather than hiding them under pants legs. Does this Spark an idea?
