Who: Tyler, the Creator and Bella Hadid

What They’re Wearing: Pants cropped above the ankle, white socks, and black leather loafers.

Why It Works: Trust these two to come through with a reminder that sometimes all it takes to level up your look is a pair of white socks. Tyler did it last week, too, when he completed grocery store style.

Obviously, Tyler and Bella aren’t the first people to endorse the power of a white sock. They’re an underappreciated style symbol, often one synonymous with counter culture — worn by ’60s Mods and skaters.

White socks are a staple in most rotations, but rarely in the limelight. And, better still, they’re always within budget. Find some of our favorites below.
