After a season dominated by ballet flats, loafers and low-profile trainers, 2026 is set to mark the return of heels. And according to New York’s style set, there’s a new way to style them right now.<\/p>\n

Slightly unexpected, heels and socks have long divided opinions, evoking everything from school-uniform nostalgia to ’80s-inspired eccentricity. But in practice, the look feels surprisingly modern. The sheer texture softened the sharpness of the black heels, while adding subtle dimension and contrast to the otherwise loose-fitting ensemble.<\/p>\n
