Happy Feet: Stylish Socks to Sex Up Your Footwork

By Christene Barberich

We love socks. But not the ones your folks crammed into your stocking way back when. We're talking a whole new breed of pairs that transcend everyday staple to become all-out wardrobe necessities. Best of all, our top sock picks offer a singular place to get a little crazy in the fashion department. Right now, our favorites range from the classics to embellished knee-highs. And those $95 thigh-highs from VPL? Could simple socks be any sexier?
