We know, we know. For many, wearing socks with any shoe style other than sneakers is unthinkable fashion faux pas. The socks-and-loafers duo in particular, though, has been around for ages and is making a stylish comeback. We’re not complaining; the past couple seasons have blessed us with some of the coolest sock options we’ve ever seen. Think sheers, metallics, stripes, tie-dye, floral prints, and more. To be honest, our feet have never been happier.
One street style muse we often turn to when it comes to wearing socks with loafers is Gala González. The Spanish It girl has been spotted on her Instagram over the past few years wearing the mix, and she’s inspired us to prove just how easy it is to pull it off. It’s as effortless as a sweater and skirt complete with simple ankle socks and classic black loafers. A more winter-friendly version is a standout coat and a pair of jeans along with the socks and shoes. However, one of her best looks incorporates a cool black mesh sock.
Read on to shop our editors’ top sock picks of the season that make the perfect companion to your favorite loafers. Plus, we shared some of Gala González’s best outfits with the duo that will likely inspire you to try the trend.

Is it just us, or do the winters seem to be getting colder and colder? It gets so frosty outside that sometimes we want to throw all our cares out the window and just run around in one of those head-to-toe puffer coats. For that very reason, we’re delighted to report that there’s one coat style you can rely on to keep you warm on those frigid days: the long wool coat.
At first thought, you may think these are quite the investment piece, but the style has come a long way and there are now great options no matter your budget. Our editors went through great lengths, no pun intended, to find you the most fashionable long wool coats online. We may or may not have scooped up a coat of our own—just a danger of the job.
The beauty of this coat style is that you can wear it with just about every outfit. If you’re going casual, throw it over a sweater, jeans, and cool sneakers. More polished? Try a long wool coat over a tailored blazer, a classic sweater, culottes, and ankle boots. The sky really is the limit here. Keep reading to shop our editors’ top picks for the best long wool coats of the season. Your cold legs will thank you.

I’ve always loved chunky sweaters. They’re wonderfully cozy, come in a stylish smattering of colors, and are the perfect remedy to the winter wardrobe blues. Up until recently, I paired these knits with everything in my closet with reckless abandon. Atop skirts, tucked into jeans, over dresses, you name it. That is until I saw a photo of myself a few weeks ago that made me, err, reconsider my approach to styling said chunky sweater. I styled a large purple wool sweater on top of a voluminous black Ulla Johnson tiered ruffle dress. I had always envisioned this combination to be reminiscent of Chloé girls trouncing up and down the Seine in Paris with bohemian waves in their hair and the sun on their freckled cheeks. My combination did not render such outcomes, as you can see below.
Sure, it’s not the absolute worst outfit you’ve ever laid eyes upon but it’s also not a knockout. My shape has disappeared due to the pairing of the oversized knit and billowy dress layered underneath. Of course, we are all our own worse critics but rather than wallowing in self-pity I decided to take to the internet to seek out more reliably flattering takes on the chunky sweater. Below, five simple and effective outfits involving a chunky sweater that you and myself will both be excited to take your next photo in.
