I have a real problem with shoes. Bare feet with with closed in shoes feel gross, so what do you wear with loafers/brogues/ court shoes/Mary janes? Ordinary socks show and look silly, trainer socks don't even seem to work with trainers, they slip down and get scrunched up, and as for those tiny ones that cover toes and heels only......well they don't stay in place for more than about 5 minutes. But there must be something that works. Or do you just put up with shoes that rub on bare feet and get all sweaty and yuck? Help!

I wear those tiny socks... Shoe liners? Most of them are crap but fingers crossed I've just got some ones that actually stay on from TK maxx. They have silicone bits by the heel to stop them sliding down

Cosy wool socks with brogues but in a different colour
Looks hipsterish and I am not a hipster but I stay warm
With Mary janes it is a problem
I wear ankle boots all winter instead
Sorry not a massive amount of help but I do agree without socks is grim and it rubs

Nude tights (with skirts/dresses) or nude socks (with trousers)... Just choose the shade to match your skin colour as closely as possible.

I struggle with this as well. I usually wear opaque knee highs with a girly shoe or trouser socks with a chunkier shoe, but I don't think ordinary socks in the same colour as either the shoe or the trouser look that bad.

I wear black socks with brogues but only if they are full length trousers. Brogues with crops, i would use the little footlet things like trainer socks. With a skirt, opaques. I wear Mary Janes. With trousers i tend to wear ankle tight things. Only with full length trousers. With crops i suppose the footlet things again. With dresses, opaque tights.

Love the idea of the bright contrasting coloured socks with brogues. May just have to invest. I love quirky!
