Cast your mind back to those ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz. What did Dorothy wear with them? Yip, that's right - cute blue ankle socks!

Now cutesy, girly ankle socks worn with heels are appearing all over the catwalks. This is such a fab look that perfectly glides from the catwalk to the streets. Plus it's great for winter when you want to wear your open toed heels but still stay snug.

Agness Deyn and Sarah Jessica Parker have both been spotted rocking this trend and there's plently of cheap options at your local supermarket and department store. Or for a never ending selection with higher-end options head to your nearest Smith & Caughey's.

Simple grey or black options will always look chic, but don't be afraid to play with patterns as well. This is certainly a trend you can have fun with.
