They used to just be those things you put on to keep your feet warm. But in Autumn / Winter 07-08 the trend towards socks as fashion has definitely risen to the fore. Though opaque tights have remained big on the winter runways, there’s also been a much wider range of striking legwear.

Thick, woolen socks worn slouched up at the thigh have been making their mark in black, charcoal and oatmeal shades; while opaque version of the above-the-knee sock have added a more interesting take than plain cotton. Other accessories like slouchy woolen leg-warmers and sparkly tights are variations on the trend.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
