Ever wondered what shoes to wear with knee-high socks? You've come to the right place! Here at VienneMilano, we love all things fashion, and we are here to give you the low-down on how to wear knee-high socks and what shoes go best with them. It's safe to say that this classic look is the epitome of style, so read on to find out how to make the look really pop. Wondering which shoes pair best with knee-high socks? From loafers to Mary Janes, heeled boots to ballet flats—and yes, even kitten heels—these are the top picks that will take your look to the next level. We've got you covered.
Loafers
If you favor a more casual vibe, loafers teamed with knee-high socks are a safe bet. Loafers are a well-known comfortable shoe, but that doesn't mean they aren't high fashion. Pairing knee-high socks in a wide range of colors with loafers gives Alexa Chung vibes, and who's more high fashion than Alexa Chung? You can opt for a flat loafer if you want to err on the side of comfort or don a heeled loafer for that added sex appeal. To mix up the look, why not choose a patterned knee-high sock?
Mary Janes
Every high fashion girl knows Mary Janes and knee-high socks are best friends. Sophisticated yet playful, this look is eye-catching yet quirky enough that you can still demonstrate your individuality. This look works best when you choose Mary Janes in a bold color and team them with neutral knee-high socks. If you prefer a more chic look, simply opt for a basic black Mary Jane style and pair with white knee-high socks.
Heeled boots
It might not be the most obvious pairing, but knee-high socks go great with heeled boots. Boots bring a slightly more relaxed vibe than heels or stilettos, but the heel on the boot adds femininity to the overall look. Our favorite look is a pair of lace-up tan boots with knee-high socks in cream hues. Think country girl meets the big city!
Ballerina flats
2008 called, and ballet flats are back. The versatile shoe can be teamed with knee-high socks, channelling that preppy, rom-com look (think Clueless). Color clashes work best for this look - for example, if you're opting for a black shoe, consider pairing with white or pale grey knee-high socks. Complete the look with a pleated plaid skirt, and get ready to have all eyes on you the next time you step out.
Kitten heels
2024 saw the comeback of the kitten heel and there's no sign of the trend dying down in 2025. Typically, you'd pair a kitten heel with jeans or a cute dress and bare legs, but you can switch up your look by throwing a pair of knee-high socks into the mix. This unique look will be sure to have heads turning for all the right reasons. Keep the overall look chic by opting for a minimalist dress and understated jewelry.
Ultimately, when it comes to knowing what kind of shoes to wear with knee-high socks, you really can make your own rules. Fashion should be an expression of your own individual style so don't be afraid to stand out from the crowd and be your true, authentic self. Knee-high socks are extremely versatile and go with a wide range of different styles of shoe.
