Like anyone else, we loathe to see summer leave, but as with every end to a season there’s always something to look forward to. For fall, that’s reuniting with school friends, Pumpkin Spice lattes at Starbucks, and pulling out some of our favorite wardrobe pieces (yes, this includes our flannel plaid shirts). Oh, and another thing: socks!

Call us crazy, but a girl can only upkeep a pedicure for so long before it becomes a chore. We looove our sandals, and flip-flops make us happy, but those rolled up wool cable-knit knee-highs in our drawer are looking pretty enticing these days. Plus, the fall runways gave us plenty of reasons to remember why knee-high socks are just awesome. So before you break out those Doc Martens, Mary Janes, or whatever footwear you love pairing with socks, legwarmers, and knee-highs, check out our picks available right now below!
