Miguel Enamorado, Accessories Director

"I love the mix of a Chanel jacket, cropped Comme des Garcons utility camel pants, and a scarlet sock–a peek of personality–with my classic John Lobb loafers."

"I wore red socks at the request of our Accessories Director, and it turned out to be a fun way to shake up my generally monochromatic wardrobe. As an Art Director, I really respond to graphic color-blocking, so I enjoyed the pop of red. I’m going to try to find ways to introduce more bold accent colors into my life just to shake things up."

"I styled these red socks with sparkly Michael Kors heels, and I loved mixing a playful texture with such a bright color. I actually have a pair of red socks at home that I’ve struggled to style, but if this exercise taught me anything, it’s that I just need to embrace it. I’m often hesitant to go bold with colors, but the red sock was such a conversation starter and it brought a level of confidence to the look that I want to keep up moving forward."

"I paired my red socks with matching red tights, a mini skirt, and sandals. Having red legs for the day was bolder than I’m used to, but it was really fun to experiment with more playful color. I’m definitely going to continue to experiment with these socks in the future."

"I've always wanted to wear a red sock but have been too afraid. Too crazy or too cool for me, I thought. Luckily, I have the most inspiring colleague Miguel who gave me the push to try and my feet have never looked better. Turns out red socks plus sparkly Wales Bonner slippers is exactly the right equation."

"I love the moment socks are having, and have especially found myself being more experimental with my dressing because of it. I'm currently obsessed with wearing red socks with my red Sambas, or deep maroon socks white sneakers. The color can really spruce up any look, particularly if you tend to wear mostly neutrals, like me."

“After a friend brought back a pair of crayon-green socks for me from the iconic shop Gammarelli in Italy, I embraced the possibilities of a bold sock to complement colorful chinos, like the pink ones I paired with red socks. Wearing penny loafers (with pennies intact) leans into the preppy vibe of the rose-hued slacks.”

"Miguel handed me this pair of Falke socks in the most perfect hue of cherry red. I wore them around fashion week with my Bass loafers and felt like I was dipping my toe into the color of the season without straying from my extremely unadventurous wardrobe of denim, black, white, and navy."
