In the midst of an exposed sock moment, it's truly all in the details.

Between the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fall-winter-2022-haute-couture-runway-fashion-trends-chanel-dior-schiaparelli-balenciaga" target="_blank" rel="noopener">runways</a> and streetways, socks have become a styling mainstay. As fashion enters an increasingly preppy '90s-inspired era, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/socks-tights-accessories-fashion-trend-spring-summer-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">socks</a> appear to be more intentional than ever before. Certainly, this is in part to the never-ending loafer moment. First spotted in both the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fashion-trends-spring-summer-2023-haute-couture-runway" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spring/Summer 2023 Haute Couture</a> and Menswear seasons and continuing into the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/fashion-trends-spring-summer-2024-runways" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spring/Summer 2024</a> season, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/best-street-style-paris-fashion-week-fall-winter-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">street style</a> was dominated by the school girl-esque crew sock and loafer combo. However, the purposeful loafer sock look spans beyond this.
From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/androgynous-glamour-style-mens-spring-2022-fashion-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boyish</a> yet comfortable cotton to a more feminine mesh, loafer socks are here to complete any look with a statement.
