Socks shock

Celebrities are obsessed with this unusual throwback socks and trainers trend

Add sports socks to summer’s oddest shoe style, the dad trainer, and you get the A-listers' latest look

WHO knew you’d find this new accessory everyone’s obsessed with hiding in your underwear draw? This doesn't mean you'll be trying it out in a hurry though.

We’re all for a new season outfit update, you know, a new pair of earrings or arm-candy, but we don’t often think about our sock situation - until now, that is.

Well, apparently this is all about to change thanks to the likes of Pia Mia and Kourtney Kardashian stepping out in their socks and kicks combo that wouldn't look out of place in the '90s.

Wearing chunky trainers with a pair of sports socks pulled up high is the new way to style them up.

Yes, styling your socks is now officially a thing, and Pia and Kourtney aren't the only ones that have been trying it out.

From catwalk, to cool girls - everyone is giving it a go.

Model Bella Hadid was seen sporting the look on the SS18 Alexander Wang catwalk and off-duty on Instagram.

Forget trainer socks and trying to hide that you’re wearing a pair, it’s all about showing them off loud and proud.

Just look at Katy Perry, she’s been wearing her Chanel trainers with printed socks. You don’t get much more statement than that, hey KP. Note: gym shorts and bumbag not advised.

Yes, we know what you’re thinking. They resemble the dad’s socks and sandals pairing we’ve desperately tried to avoid at all costs. And yep, you would be right.

But, when you see a street style shot of a floral dress teamed with box-fresh trainers, crisp Balenciaga socks and slim shades, we're kind of coming around to the idea. Has it gained enough celeb kudos to justify giving it a go? We’ll let you be the judge of that.

But for now, we’ll be thinking of the pro that A) we could relive our Spice Girl’s days and the major cons that B) they're not strictly office-appropriate, and C) just imagine those dodgy summer tan lines!

Go one step further with these Crocs with socks attached. Yes really.

Think this trend is a weird one? Just look at these new penis pocket trousers.

Or, this crop top/ denim jacket hybrid. What do you think?
