Either Hurricane Sandy is causing Atlanta’s whether to take a drastic turn for the worse, or we’ve officially moved into the fast-approaching winter. If there’s one major tip I could give you to stay warm and stay fashionable at the same time, it’s this: socks, socks and more socks.

While wearing socks with boots is a no-brainer, bring it one step further and wear your socks above your boots. This style can be worn with any type of boot. As long as the socks stick up over the top of your boot, you’re flawlessly rocking it.

This trend is so easy and cheap, and is honestly a must when the temperature is this frigid outside. Wear them over jeans and tights, or even rock thigh-highs with a skirt and knee-high boots.

While designers such as rag & bone and Alexander Wang showed their versions of the style, this trend is fit for any wardrobe and budget (um, hello, Target?) So keep your toes extra warm this season with this ultra chic and necessary trend.
