NoIt’s not just an accessory. The ribbed sock returns to the protagonist and redefines the way of wearing shoes. Thick, striped, in wool and cashmere or Scottish thread, more or less longalways retro: it is that touch of bourgeois nonchalance that mixes rigor and everyday charm. A precise choice, which is exhibited without shyness in the Autumn-Winter 2025/2026. Why when the detail is studied, it deserves to be seen.
In this cold season, ribbed socks show themselves, and they do it in style. From clogs to slingbacks, through to moccasins, sneakers and trendy sandals, here are 5 shoe and sock combinations that definitely stand out. All to try, with a determined step.
With hooves
The most unexpected and hottest duo of the season: clogs and ribbed socks. Better if optical white or light, to be shown under a pair of cropped jeans or an A-line skirt. The result? Minimal, but with a Nordic touch hygge style intelligent (and irreverent).
Ribbed socks and heeled loafers
The moccasin with a medium, square heel becomes an accomplice to the thin ribbed socks. Femininity winks at the masculine look. Preferred in the college version and worn with contrasting ribbed socks, under a pair of straight jeans.

Suede sneakers
Sporty? Yes, but methodically. Suede sneakers, one of the trends within reach for Autumn-Winter 2025/2026, go perfectly with visible striped lisle socks. To be preferred in warm shades and combined with shorts and Bermuda shortsto add a touch of warmth and comfort to cold season outfits.

Ribbed socks and strappy sandals
The boldest combo, ribbed socks and 90s strappy sandals. A choice that conquers the most fashionable. The trick is in the palette: the nuances must be similar or deliberately different. The look works perfectly with low cut stockings or long stockings. And the dress, short or long, is a must for a sexy touch.

Patent leather slingback
As a lady, well, but with irony. The open heel pumps in glossy leather combine perfectly with ribbed socks in shades of gray in wool or cashmere: the most classic.

And the pair goes hand in hand with the short or midi skirt and the leather or suede jacket.
A soft and glamorous combination to be experienced at any time of the day.
